Laparoscopic colectomy for persistent descending mesocolon in sigmoid colon cancer: A case report. [PDF]
Abstract A 55-year-old-man underwent laparoscopic sigmoidectomy for sigmoid colon cancer. Preoperative barium enema showed a slightly medial displacement of the descending colon, and the sigmoid colon was quite long.

Idiopathic Sclerosing Encapsulating Peritonitis Associated With Persistent Descending Mesocolon: A Surgical Puzzle. [PDF]
During our practice as clinical surgeons, we have encountered situations in which exploratory abdominal laparotomies have yielded unexpected outcomes, despite conducting thorough and rigorous preoperative studies. A rare condition called sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis (SEP), in which a fibrocollagenous membrane encircles the intestine and other ...

Laparoscopic Sigmoidectomy for Sigmoid Cancer With Persistent Descending Mesocolon: Anatomical Characteristics and Technical Tips. [PDF]
Although rare, persistent descending mesocolon (PDM) is an anatomical anomaly that carries potential risks for laparoscopic colorectal surgery. Impaired blood circulation of the reconstructed colon is especially risky during surgery. We report a case of sigmoid cancer with PDM, in which the patient underwent laparoscopic sigmoidectomy.

Persistent Descending Mesocolon as a Key Risk Factor in Laparoscopic Colorectal Cancer Surgery. [PDF]
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]
ABSTRACT Introduction: 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.

Laparoscopic sigmoidectomy for sigmoid colon cancer with left-sided inferior vena cava and persistent descending mesocolon. [PDF]
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 wandering spleen with 720° torsion and persistent ascending and descending mesocolon in a 5-year-old Syrian male: A case report. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Introduction and importance: 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.
