Laparoscopic Sigmoidectomy for Sigmoid Cancer With Persistent Descending Mesocolon: Anatomical Characteristics and Technical Tips. [PDF]
Cureus, 2022 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.

Laparoscopic sigmoidectomy for sigmoid colon cancer with left-sided inferior vena cava and persistent descending mesocolon. [PDF]
J Surg Case Rep, 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 ...
