e next step is the anterior rectum. e peritoneum of the anterior midline (in the pouch of Douglas) is deected anteriorly. e surgeon grasps the anterior surface of the dis­tal rectum with an atraumatic grasper and lis the rectum upward, o the pelvic oor, and posteriorly toward the sacrum (Figure 18.10). is places the anterior peritoneal reection under tension and exaggerates the groove at the reection. In the female, the anterior peritonotomy is made along the line of the groove, thereby gaining access to the rectovaginal septum (Figure 18.10). In the male (Figure 18.11), the anterior peritonotomy is started 5mm anterior to the groove. In this manner, the seminal vesicles come into view.
In the male, the seminal vesicles become apparent ante­riorly and once identied can be deected anteriorly. One
will note that with adequate anterior retraction and rectal countertraction (upward and posteriorly) a plane of dissec­tion develops at this location and can be followed posterior to the seminal vesicles, posterior to the prostate and dis­tally onto the distal rectum (Figure 18.11). is dissection is done under high magnication, with vapor extraction, and proceeds in a gradual manner ensuring hemostasis throughout. e orientation of the prostate is an impor­tant consideration when the patient is in the supine or head down position. e prostate is positioned forward and infe­rior to the seminal vesicles, as is the membranous urethra. As a result, once one has developed the plane posterior to the seminal vesicles, then there is a limited distance only between this and the distal reaches of the rectum.

Sometimes in the particularly obese individual, a distinct plane cannot be readily identied in the anterior midline. Rather than dissecting directly through here, the anterolat­eral aspect of the mesorectal package is further mobilized on either side. e rectum is then retracted upward and poste­riorly, and the anterior midline deected further anteriorly. ese activities mimic those in open surgery where the lipped pelvic retractor (in the anterior midline) is inserted deep into the pelvis and countertraction exerted upward and posteriorly on the rectum. e eects of this combination of traction and countertraction are to expose the correct plane of dissection in the anterior midline (even in the massively obese male).
By now, the level of the dissection is deep in the pel­vis. e principles of dissection are the same; traction and
countertraction demonstrate the mesofascial plane aer which separation of whose components leads to further mobilization. Mesenteric continuity means that dissecting in
a zone-based manner (i.e., posterior, followed by lateral and then anterior zones) facilitates exposure of the correct plane in adjoining zones. In other words, the plane of dissection in one zone becomes apparent following anatomic mobilization in an adjacent zone. Very occasionally, in the particularly
obese, it may be necessary to dissect directly through fat. is should be minimized, and every eort should be made to remain in an anatomic plane.
At the pelvic oor, Waldeyer’s fascia is identied in the
posterior midline (Figure 18.12). is is a condensation of mesorectal/Toldt’s fascia and is not a separate entity as

sometimes depicted. Similarities with Toldt’s fascia else­where are demonstrated in Figure 18.12. A middle sacral artery can sometimes occur here and division may cause troublesome hemorrhage. e vessel is identiable when dissecting through the fascia under high magnication. epelvic oor becomes apparent directly in front of view. With the patient in the lithotomy position, it has a verti­cal orientation, and slopes diagonally inward as it radially encroaches on the anal canal. As the mesorectum cones inward at the distal rectum, the latter can sometimes come into view suddenly, so careful high-magnication dissection
is again necessary. Dissection in the posterior midline generally facilitates posterolateral dissection, which in turn facilitates lateral and thereaer anterolateral dissection. In completing this sequentially on the leand right, the entire mesorectum/rectal complex is detached or mobilized en bloc without disruption. e dissection is only complete when the red/brown colored bers of the pelvic oor are seen marking a distal boundary to further dissection.
Where the entire rectum is not bei ng removed (i.e., partial
mesorectal excision), the mesorectum must be divided across to expose the serosal surface of the rectum. It is

important to take time to do this carefully and thoroughly. Once the mesorectum has been divided, it retracts distally and becomes dicult to grasp directly. Its fatty composition means that it will bleed and tear if directly grasped. In order to achieve adequate mesorectal division, the mesothelium
overlying the mesorectum is grasped with an atraumatic grasper. Mesorectal fat can then dissected through using a tissue sealant device such as the harmonic scalpel. is must be done under high magnication (with a smoke extractor or vapor extractor) and in a gradualmanner. esuperior

rectal artery and vein should be anticipated and can be divided using vessel sealant device, clips, or a stapling device. In general, these vessels are attenuated in the mid to distal mesorectum and thus more suited to division using vessel sealant devices such as the Ligasure, vessel sealer or
harmonic scalpel. e rectum must be repeatedly deected leand right to demonstrate residual mesorectal tissue on both sides and in the posterior midline. It is only when the rectum is fully skeletonized circumferentially that one should consider dividing it.

OPEN TOTAL OR PARTIAL MESORECTAL EXCISION
Preoperative setup and intraoperative access-related con­siderations are identical to those for total or partial meso­sigmoidectomy so they will be mentioned here in brief only. It is essential to generate unimpeded access to the lemesocolon, the mesosigmoid, and the mesorectum. In all cases, the IMA should be identied clearly and ligated proximal to the origin of the lecolic artery. Although this is not a requirement in benign disease, it is anatomic, is mesenteric based, and provides an excellent teaching opportunity for trainees. Accordingly, many surgeons routinely mobilize the inferior mesenteric adipovascular pedicle to skeletonize and expose the vessel for safe liga­tion and division. Inorder to achieve this safely and repro­ducibly, one requires unimpeded access to the entire le mesocolon. us, it may sometimes be necessary to divide congenital adhesions that can occur between the DJ exure and the le mesocolon.
Trendelenburg positioning is particularly useful in the
context of rectal dissection deep in the pelvis. is posi­tioning ensures that the greater omentum, small bowel, and associated mesentery slide out and away from from the pel­vis, othe right surface of the mesosigmoid and anterior surface of lemesocolon. Appropriate instrumentation is essential in providing adequate access and exposure deep in the pelvis, and, in this regard, few instruments are better than the lipped pelvic retractor. e shaof this retractor has a long stem and is lipped at one extremity, while the arm of the extractor is at a right angle at the proximal extremity. Narrower versions are available and some adaptations have a light source connected along the shato permit illumi­nation of the distal pelvis. Many would rightly advocate a headlamp to provide adequate illumination of the distal pelvis. is simple measure facilitates careful dissection in anatomic planes at all stages of the dissection. Additional tips that help with mesorectal access include carefully spreading the legs upward and outward or placing a large 10 × 10cm swab against the perineum, thereby forcing the perineum upward and forward.
Video recording of open mesorectal excision
e development of the concept of TME by Professor Bill Heald and Mr Brendan Moran was greatly aided by their insistence on using high magnication and resolution recordings for demonstration purposes [17–19]. In the recent past, we adapted the capabilities of the laparoscope and combined this with an external snake arm in the form of the UL exoscope (Figure 18.13). While the surgeon and the assistant perform the procedure, it is our custom to request a resident or medical student (also scrubbed) to control the position of the tip of the exoscope as well as the orientation of the 30° lens. Images are then transmitted in the usual manner to a television monitor mounted on a stack. In this
manner, the open surgical procedure is readily conveyed to all theater staincluding nursing and anesthetic sta. Although we do not have quantitative data to support the following, we have noticed that this transforms the opera­tive environment. Where previously the open dissection could not be visualized by anybody other than the actual operating surgeon, images transmitted via the laparoscope to a laparoscopic stack demonstrate the entire operation to all in the operating room. Once videos have been obtained, they are edited in Final Cut Pro (Apple Inc., Cupertino, CA) and an audio accompaniment established aer which they are archived (Figure18.13). e University of Limerick (UL) exoscope adaptation thus overcomes many of the limitations of previous modalities of video recording and rendition by transmitting the surgeon’s point of view in a high denition and high magnication format, to all in the operating room (Figure 18.13).
Most importantly from a technical perspective, this means that the subtle fascial planes between mesorectum and the associated fascia are readily visible, rendered, and depicted.
Techniques
e reader is referred to Chapter 17 and to the open section of mesosigmoidectomy for details related to mesosigmoidal and mesocolic mobilization. Certain points will be mentioned here however. ere is a tendency to commence the mobiliza­tion at the mesosigmoidal level. is is particularly the case for junior surgeons. It is dicult to do, and so should be avoided, because the fascia in this region is areolar and attenuated. As a result of these properties, it is dicult to identify the inter­face formed between fascia and overlying mesosigmoid. Even experienced surgeons can transgress into nonanatomic planes in this region, entering either the retroperitoneum posteriorly or the mesosigmoid anteriorly. Both are associated with bleed­ing that, although minor, is sucient to obscure the fascial interface and the plane in which one aims to dissect.
e surgeon begins by liing the proximal sigmoid upward (away from the retroperitoneum). is places the mesosigmoid and junction between descending and sigmoid colon under tension (Figure 18.14). e eect is to transmit tension to the peritoneal reection and the groove formed at this is exaggerated. e white line of Toldt will be apparent at the leperitoneal reection. In general, it is absent at the mesosigmoidal reection. Beneath the attached component of the mesosigmoid the fascia is areolar, less dense, and as such a prominent white line is not apparent where the fas­cia coalesces with the parietal peritoneum. is is another reason why the surgeon should not rely entirely on the iden­tication of the white line of Toldt as a landmark for the commencement of peritonotomy.
e distal leperitoneal reection is divided expos­ing the underlying colofascial interface. e colon is retracted anteriorly, placing the interface under stretch, and exaggerating the bers of Toldt’s fascia (Figure 18.14). Colofascial separation permits medial mobilization of the descending colon and brings the mesofascial interface

into view. ecomponents of this plane are separated to detach the distal lemesocolon from the retroperitoneum (Figure 18.14).
Given mesenteric continuity, detachment, or mobili-
zation in one region facilitates mobilization in adjacent regions. Distal mobilization of the lemesocolon brings the surgeon onto the correct plane of mobilization under the mesosigmoid. At this point, further mobilization will
be hampered by the peritoneal reection at the lelateral aspect of the mesosigmoid (Figure 18.15). e reection is not always readily apparent and frequently obscured by congenital adhesions that must be divided through (Figure18.15). ey can be minimal or extensive, in which case they form a sheetlike structure resembling the perito­neal reection at the base of the mesosigmoid.
