Persistent Descending Mesocolon as a Key Risk Factor in Laparoscopic Colorectal Cancer Surgery [PDF]
In Vivo, 2020 Persistent descending mesocolon (PDM) is a rare colonic anatomical variant. However, PDM's impact on the technical aspects and outcomes of laparoscopic colorectal cancer resection are unclear.This retrospective clinical cohort study was conducted at a high-volume cancer center in Japan to evaluate intra- and postoperative outcomes of laparoscopic ...

Robot-assisted laparoscopic low anterior resection for rectal cancer with persistent descending mesocolon: A case report [PDF]
International Journal of Surgery Case Reports, 2022 Persistent descending mesocolon (PDM) is a fixed abnormality in which the descending to sigmoid colon adheres to the small intestinal mesentery or right pelvic wall through right displacement. Surgery for colorectal cancer with PDM is difficult. Therefore, in addition to the anatomical characteristics of PDM, the extent of adhesion and characteristics ...

Laparoscopic sigmoidectomy for sigmoid colon cancer with left-sided inferior vena cava and persistent descending mesocolon [PDF]
Journal of Surgical Case Reports, 2020 Abstract Left-sided inferior vena cava (IVC) is a rare congenital malformation, as is persistent descending mesocolon, a developmental anomaly in which the colonic mesentery does not fuse with the dorsal abdominal wall. Although these anomalies are mostly asymptomatic, they should be identified preoperatively to avoid iatrogenic injury ...

A colovesical fistula with a persistent descending mesocolon due to partial situs inversus: A case report [PDF]
International Journal of Surgery Case Reports, 2017 Situs inversus viscerum, a congenital condition in which the visceral organs are a mirror image of their normal physiological positions, could be total or partial. Persistent descending mesocolon (PDM) is a congenital anomaly that is asymptomatic because of its short length.

A wandering spleen with 720° torsion and persistent ascending and descending mesocolon in a 5-year-old Syrian male: A case report [PDF]
International Journal of Surgery Case Reports, 2023 The spleen is normally found in the left hypochondrium and it is fixed in its place by numerous suspensory ligaments. When the ligaments are elongated or abnormally developed, it causes a rare medical condition called Wandering spleen. A persistent ascending and descending mesocolon is also a congenital anomaly, resulting from the failure of fusion of ...

Revising Fascial Anatomy With a Focus on the Fusion Fascia in Mesenteric Gastrointestinal Cancer Surgery [PDF]
Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, Volume 10, Issue 2, Page 372-385, March 2026.This review critically reassesses our prior hypothesis and proposes a revised anatomical model of the fusion fascia that is broadly applicable to GI cancer surgeries grounded in the principles of mesenteric resection. Our synthesis suggests that the fusion fascia is neither a dense connective tissue membrane nor a remnant of mesothelial fusion, but ...

Laparoscopic Surgery and Robot-Assisted Surgery for Colorectal Cancer With Persistent Descending Mesocolon [PDF]
, 2020 Abstract Background: Persistent descending mesocolon (PDM) is a case of colonic replacement and adhesion as a result of abnormal fixation of the gastrointestinal tract. In laparoscopic surgery, it is performed when the patient is in an unconscious state.

Vascular anatomical study of persistent descending mesocolon in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer [PDF]
Asian Journal of Endoscopic Surgery, 2023 AbstractIntroductionPersistent descending mesocolon (PDM) is a rare congenital atypia of fixation of the descending colon, and currently, very few detailed studies exist on its vascular anatomy. This study was conducted to evaluate the features of the vascular anatomy of PDM to help avoid intraoperative lethal injury and subsequent postoperative ...
