anus and perineum. This position should be considered for surgery where standing between the legs could be useful, but where access to the anus is not likely to be necessary (eg, laparoscopic right/transverse colectomy or left or total colectomy with end ostomy). Transanal stapling or colonoscopy is not impossible in this position, just more difficult. Split leg keeps the knee close to the level of the hip, which helps to avoid interference with laparoscopic instruments pointed toward the upper quadrants. Split-leg table does not intrinsically secure the legs, and straps/wraps should be placed to secure the patient if any significant table tilt is anticipated. It may not be possible to attach split legs to a table without a removable leg portion.
Equipment
Split-leg table stirrups with included brackets ×2 (right and left) Foam padding to place under the knees Straps or tape/towels to secure the legs
Technique
Before the patient is placed on the table, place the split-leg brackets on the lowest portion of side rail of body portion of the table and secure firmly. The cephalad adjustment knob on the bracket secures the foot board to the bed. The posterior facing adjustment knob allows abduction/adduction of the hip and includes a guide for A, B, and C positions. The caudal adjustment knob allows for hip flexion and extension (Fig. 3-12).
FIGURE 3-12 Brackets for the split leg.
If the patient is already on a standard table, have your assistant hold both legs in the air while replacing the leg/foot of the bed with split legs. Rotate the legs to position in parallel with bed (A position). Once patient is moved down into position on the table, rotate and secure legs simultaneously and equally in medium (Fig. 3-13) or severe split (Fig. 3-14) position as needed.

FIGURE 3-14 “B” position on a split-leg table positioning.
Slightly elevate both legs 10 degrees using the caudal adjustment knobs to avoid hip overextension. Place cylindrical or rolled piece of foam under each knee to slightly flex knee, preventing knee overextension. Pad the heel/ankle to decrease pressure points. Secure each leg to split-leg table at two points, on the thigh above the knee and on the leg below the knee, using straps or towels and tape (Fig. 3-15).

ARM TUCKING
Perioperative Considerations
Arm tucking allows increased flexibility for the surgical team to stand adjacent to the patient. The ability to stand at the shoulder is frequently useful for procedures such as laparoscopic colon and rectal surgery, and arm tucking should be performed routinely. For some procedures where the surgeon anticipates working nearly exclusively on one side of the abdomen, the arm on the opposite side should be tucked to allow two operators on that side, but the arm on the same side of the dissection field can potentially be left out (eg, tuck the left arm and leave the right arm out for laparoscopic right hemicolectomy). Arm tucking has the risk of nerve, joint, or compartment injury and limits anesthesia from accessing the arms during the procedure for intravenous
access, blood pressure monitoring, or other procedures.
Equipment
Folded or doubled sheet with anterior and posterior leaves; Cleveland Clinic arm sheet is two pieces sewn together with two vertical seams Gauze padding for IVs and foam padding for stirrups Arm sleds as needed
Technique
The folded sheet should be placed across the bed such that two leaves of sheet protrude 12-18 in on either side of patient and the patient lies on top of this sheet (Figs. 3-16 and 3-17).
FIGURE 3-16 Initial positioning of the sheet on the bed.
FIGURE 3-17 Two leaves of the sheet separated.
IVs and other devices on the arm should be padded away from skin with gauze to prevent skin ulcerations. While holding the patient’s hand and arm in position such that the thumb is facing upward and arm is fully extended, the upper leaf of drape is held up in the air by an assistant across the table. The lower leaf is wrapped over the top of the arm and around it medially and posteriorly to snuggly support the arm. Reconfirm the thumb facing upward (Fig. 3-18).
FIGURE 3-18 Positioning of the lower sheet and arm/hand.
The upper sheet is then wrapped tightly over the arm and tucked underneath the arm and patient’s body until the arm is firmly fixed in place. Check again that the thumb is up (Fig. 3-19).
FIGURE 3-19 Positioning of the upper sheet.
The arm should now be securely fixed and supported by the wrap and the table and not require further support (Fig. 3-20).
FIGURE 3-20 Final positioning of the arm tucked.
In patients with wider girth, an insufficient amount of table may remain laterally so as to preclude stable arm fixation. In this case, a padded arm sled can be introduced to further reinforce the arm. This should be at the level of the elbow or below, with the lower end passing beneath the table pad, and should be pushed in as much as possible so as not to interfere with comfortable stance of the surgeon, while taking care not to overextend the elbow (Fig. 3-21).
