To demonstrate the mesenteric and peritoneal basis of mobilization of the transverse mesocolon.
INTRODUCTION
Classical anatomic depictions of the transverse mesocolon describe it as inserting directly into the posterior abdominal wall along a linear attachment [1–7]. As per these descrip­tions, the line of attachment extends from the hepatic exure across the upper abdomen to the splenic exure. According to the current appraisal of mesenteric anatomy, the trans­verse mesocolon is formed by a coalescence of both hepato­colic and splenocolic mesenteric conuence, at the middle colic adipovascular pedicle [1,2,7–10]. As such the transverse mesocolon does not have a linear attachment to the poste­rior abdominal wall per se. Instead, it is mainly comprised of mesenteric regions attached over a broad area. From this

zone of mesofascial adhesion, the mesocolon extends to the transverse colon itself. At the intestinal boundary, it elongates considerably in tandem with the transverse colon.
e greater omentum is draped over the transverse meso­colon and focally adherent at several points. Furthermore, a peritoneal reection occurs between the under surface of the greater omentum and the upper margin of the transverse colon and although an anatomic constant, it has yet to be named. If one considers the transverse mesocolon in the context of these anatomic arrangements, then its mobiliza­tion and division become a straightforward technical matter that can be readily conducted in a reproducible manner.
LAPAROSCOPIC/ROBOTIC MOBILIZATION AND DIVISION OF THE TRANSVERSE MESOCOLON
Laparoscopic/robotic mobilization ofthegreateromentum
In general, transverse mesocolic mobilization is conducted either as part of an extended right or le mesocolectomy, or total mesocolic excision. As the latter is more common, this will be used as the platform to describe steps in its

mobilization. In total mesocolectomy, the le and right sides are rst mobilized by some authors, while others commence on the le and progress proximally around the transverse mesocolon toward the right side.
As a rst step, many mobilize the greater omentum o
the transverse mesocolon, thereby gaining access into the lesser sac. To do this, an assistant holds up the greater omentum with the patient in the head up position while the surgeon places countertraction on the greater omen­tum (Figure 21.1). e greater omentum is divided in a hemostatic manner. e division commences distal to the gastroepiploic arcade so as not to compromise the lat­ter. Ingeneral, in this region, the greater omentum is not attached to the underlying mesocolon, which means that omentotomy here accesses the lesser sac proper. Once opened in this region, the omental division is continued le and laterally to the junction between right and le gastro- epiploic vessels. Atthe lateral extreme of the lesser sac, the omentum is adherent to underlying transverse mesocolon. Adhesions here must be divided to fully expose the underly­ing mesocolon (Figure 21.2) [11–13].

Laparoscopic/robotic mobilization ofthetransverse mesocolon
Before describing mobilization of the transverse mesocolon, it is important to describe the anatomy of the operative eld (see Chapter 20 for details). e lemesocolon and colon will have been mobilized. e leperitoneal and splenocolic reection will have been divided, and the greater omentum freed from the upper surface of the transverse mesocolon. Finally, a mesenteric margin will have been created follow­ing division of the inferior mesenteric artery and vein, as well as intervening mesentery (Figure 21.4). e divided edge of the mesentery is a crucially important landmark and provides the starting point for transverse mesocolic mobilization and division [11–13].

e patient is placed in a slight head up position. e greater omentum attached to the stomach is deected up under the lehemidiaphragm. e lecolon (just distal to the splenic exure) is lied toward the anterior abdominal wall and to the le. e transverse colon (just proximal to the splenic exure) is lied toward the anterior abdominal wall and to the right. e tension created is transmitted to the mesoco­lon that is “opened out” (Figure 21.5). ese activities expose the divided margin of the mesocolon (Figure 21.6). e mesocolon can be directly divided at this point because the greater omentum has been dissected othe upper surface of the transverse mesocolon (see earlier). Mesocolic division using a tissue sealant device is continued until the middle colic adipovascular pedicle is reached near the midline.

of the middle colic is too low, then the superior mesenteric artery could be compromised. To avoid this, the middle colic is best divided high up along its mesenteric pedicle. e approach is based on the presence of avascular mes­enteric regions occurring on either side of the middle colic vascular pedicle (Figure 21.8).
e avascular mesentery, on either side of the pedicle,
is divided using a tissue sealant device such as the har­monic scalpel. is isolates the pedicle for further dissec­tion. efat of the pedicle is slowly dissected through in a stepwise and gradual manner under high magnication.
Given that the greater omentum was already freed from the upper surface of the mesocolon, the middle colic vessel can be skeletonized circumferentially. Once exposed, it can be securely clipped (or stapled) and divided (Figure21.9).
Where there is an artery there is a vein and so care must be taken to identify this and manage it using the same approach (Figure 21.9). At the right side of the middle colic adipovascular pedicle, a further interpe­dicular mesocolic region occurs between the right (pres­ent in 25%) and middle colic vessels. This again can be directly divided as the greater omentum was separated off the transverse mesocolon as described earlier. This completes laparoscopic transverse mesocolic mobiliza­tion [11–13] .

OPEN TRANSVERSE MESOCOLIC MOBILIZATION AND DIVISION
e principles here are identical to that of laparoscopic/ robotic mobilization of transverse mesocolon and, similarly, are entirely mesenteric and peritoneal based. It is usually con­ducted as part of total mesocolectomy. In keeping with this, the splenic exure has been detached, the inferior mesenteric adipovascular artery, and vein divided. As for laparoscopic/ robotic mobilization, a mesenteric margin will be apparent, which serves as a starting point for transverse mesocolic mobilization (see the “Mobilization from the le” section).
Mobilizing the greater omentum from the transverse mesocolon
e greater omentum is attached to the transverse colon and mesocolon at four points. ese include (1) the omentocolic reection, (2) focal adhesions between the undersurface of the omentum and the cephalad surface of the mesocolon, fusion with the (3) hepatocolic peritoneal reection and (4) the splenocolic reection. Most surgeons commence mobilization in the midline with division of the omentocolic reection.
e greater omentum is lied upward placing tension on the reection between it and the upper surface of the transverse colon (Figure 21.10). e reection is divided through and adhesions between the greater omentum and the cephalad aspect of the transverse mesocolon divided. Oen the degree of fusion between greater omentum and
underlying mesocolon can hamper identication of the correct plane of dissection here. If there is doubt, then it is important to err toward the greater omentum and not into mesocolon. ere may be some bleeding, but this is usu­ally controlled with artery clips. If one digresses into an intramesocolic plane then bleeding is more extensive and dicult to control. Sometimes nonanatomic dissection is impossible to avoid. Notwithstanding this one should always aim to return to the correct plane of dissection as quickly as is feasible.
Due to the coalescence of greater omentum with the
hepatocolic reection on the right and the splenocolic reection on the le, it can sometimes be dicult to identify a plane in these regions. is region of anatomy is poorly understood and represents an area for future development.
Mobilization from the left
In general, the surgeon will be approaching from the leside of the midline, as in a total mesocolectomy. In this case, the divided edge of the lemesocolon will be apparent and is an important starting landmark for division (Figure21.11). einferior mesenteric vein (IMV) may be apparent and can be isolated, clipped, divided, and ligated. Isolation of the IMV again depends on the presence of avascular mes­entery on either side of it (Figure 21.11). Such is the relative importance of the free margin of the mesentery on the le that an illustration from an alternative view point (i.e., from below to up) is provided in Figure 21.12.

The mesenteric root region
All that remains for complete mobilization and separation of the transverse mesocolon is for its division at the mes­enteric root region. Here, the middle colic pedicle arises from the superior mesenteric pedicle and passes toward the transverse mesocolon. e middle colic vessel can give o the right colic, when this is present (Figure 21.14a), before it divides into its main branches. In general, it is usually safest to divide the main branches rather than the middle
