RETROPERITONEAL EXPOSURE
William J. Mileski
STEP 1: SURGICAL ANATOMY
Exposure of the retroperitoneal structures—duodenum, pancreas, kidneys, ureters, vena cava, and aorta—may be required to address injury of these structures or other emergent conditions.
STEP 2: PREOPERATIVE CONSIDERATIONS
For trauma, wide preparation of the torso is necessary, including neck and groins.

STEP 3: OPERATIVE STEPS
A full midline incision is made.
Beginning on the right, the surgeon exposes the retroperitoneal structures by mobilization of the cecum and ascending colon, releasing the lateral peritoneal reflection, the white line of Toldt, from caudad and lateral to the cecum and extending the release cephalad, combining with mobilization of the lateral attachments of the duodenum (Figure 107-1).

C H A P T E R 107 • Retroperitoneal Exposure 1181
This extended Kocher maneuver allows medial rotation of the colon and duodenum. It can be further extended by mobilization of the mesentery of the small intestine to the ligament of Treitz, the Cattell maneuver includes retraction of the entire right side of the colon, most of the transverse colon, and the small intestine and left cephalad, which exposes the right kidney, right adrenal gland, right ureter, entire duodenum, head of the pancreas, inferior vena cava, and infrarenal aorta (Figure 107-2).

STEP 4: POSTOPERATIVE CARE
Nasogastric decompression may be required for a prolonged period following this extensive retroperitoneal dissection.
STEP 5: PEARLS AND PITFALLS
Steady rotation and countertraction with blunt dissection (a sponge stick is often helpful) is critical to maintaining the plane of dissection.
