FUTURE DIRECTIONS
e description provided above is a roadmap for anatomic detachment and disconnection of the transverse meso­colon. is is an essential component of total mesocolic excision (also called subtotal colectomy), extended right and le hemicolectomy. Future eorts could utilize the roadmap provided in the international standardization of transverse mesocolic mobilization.
SUMMARY
When the transverse mesocolon is operatively approached based on mesocolic and peritoneal contiguity, its mobili­zation and division can be fully standardized and thereby reproduced.

To demonstrate the mesenteric and peritoneal factors involved in conducting a small bowel resection.
INTRODUCTION
e small bowel mesentery fans out considerably at the intestinal margin [1–4]. Where it becomes attached to the posterior abdominal wall, it is considerably shorter in diag­onal extent (i.e., from the duodenojejunal exure to the ileo­cecal junction) (Figure 22.1). Mesenteric elongation at the intestinal margin confers a signicant mobility and means that most small bowel resections can be conducted without encroaching on the zone of attachment of the mesentery.
at being the case, the primary technical concern in
small bowel resection becomes hemostatic mesenterectomy, for which there are numerous approaches. By far, the most dicult mesentery is that seen in active Crohn’s disease (Figure 22.2). As surgical management of the Crohn’s mes­entery has been extensively dealt with in previous chapters, the current chapter will focus on division of the normal appearing mesentery.
Before commencing a mesenterectomy, it is important
to identify the superior mesenteric artery root region. is is located medial to the duodenojejunal exure at the base of the transverse mesocolon (Figure 22.3). e middle colic adipovascular pedicle arises from it. Any dissection of the small intestinal mesentery must avoid this region unless

absolutely required, as vascular compromise here could have catastrophic implications (Figure 22.3).
Backlighting the mesentery (Figure 22.4) almost always provides a vascular road map divisible into adipovascular and avascular regions (Figure 22.4). Interpedicular areas can be disrupted using a variety of techniques but many usethe tip of an artery clip to create an opening on either side of an adipovascular pedicle. e pedicle itself can be tied (with 0-0 Vicryl© sutures) or suture ligated. A mesenterot­omy is developed by repeating this process. e mesenter­otomy is continued from the proximal to distal intestinal resection margin. ere are several methods of intestinal division. Ifan end-to-end anastomosis is planned, then sim­ple transection with a straight Mayo scissors is sucient. If a side/side anastomosis is required, then staple-division with a stapling division and oversewing of the staple line is hemostatic. Asoccurs with colorectal resections, the time spent in intestinal staple-division and anastomosis is oen less than that involved in mesenterectomy itself.
Currently used tissue sealant devices such as the harmonic scalpel may reduce the time required to complete mesenter­otomy, when used appropriately. ey are not entirely suited to the bulky mesentery. Many would agree that while they cut the mesentery eectively, their hemostatic eect is limited in this context.
Ideally any mesenteric defect should be closed by approximating the mesenterotomy edges. While some suggest that it is unnecessary to close a mesenteric defect greater than 5cm in diameter, most recommend closure if possible. Mesenteric herniation (see Chapters 7 and 16) is associated with considerable morbidity and a not insig­nicant mortality [5]. If mesenteric stumps have been suture ligated, these may be used as suture anchor points

for interrupted 2-0 Vicryl© sutures. Sutures should not be placed deep in the mesentery and need only capture the outer mesothelial layer. e aim is to achieve mesothelial approximation, which creates a tissue bridge. Deep suture placement can lead to mesenteric bleeding and hematoma formation. While the latter is generally self-limiting due to tamponade, the resultant hematoma can cause vascu­lar compromise and threaten an adjacent anastomosis. e simplest means of managing a mesenteric hematoma is to exert focal digital pressure between the index nger and thumb on the hematoma. If this fails, then the mes­entery can be straddled between two 10 × 10cm swabs. is achieves a greater pressure over a broader region. Importantly, one should never place sutures in a blind manner in the mesentery. e net result of that is a worsen­ing of the bleeding and extension of the hematoma.
In open surgery, the entire intestinal and mesenteric complex from duodenojejunal (DJ) exure to ileocecal level is relatively easily demonstrated. In contrast, the plicated and elongated nature of the intestinal margin makes visu­alization more challenging in the robotic and laparoscopic setting. ere are several contexts in which it is necessary to visualize the small bowel and as such the surgeon must

have a strategy to deal with the mesentery and intestinal tract safely. One approach is the small bowel walk in which the intestine is grasped (using an atraumatic grasper) and then grasped further proximally with a second grasper. e graspers are spread apart in an action that splays open the intervening gastromesenteric region for examina­tion. Toprogress proximally, the distal grasper is placed
just distal to the proximal grasper, which is then replaced more proximally. e intervening intestine and mesentery between is again exposed by spreading the graspers.
is technique is particularly important in the setting of a normal appendix where one is obliged to out rule the presence of a Meckel’s diverticulum. It is also important in laparoscopic ileal pouch anal anastomosis where it is critical to generate sucient intestinal and mesenteric reach to per­mit a tension free ileoanal anastomosis. In the latter case, the small intestinal mesentery should be fully mobilized up to the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) root region. To achieve this, surgeon and assistant are positioned at the patient’s leiliac fossa and the monitor at the patient’s right shoulder. Optimum patient position is head and right shoulder down, the eect of which is for the small intestine to gravitate into the right upper quadrant and away from the mesenteric base.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Not infrequently the colorectal surgeon is requested to har­vest a mesenteric lymph node for biopsy purposes. Although the laparoscopic approach is feasible, it is hazardous and many would recommend an open approach. Alimited mid­line laparotomy is usually sucient as intestinal and mes­enteric mobility allow delivery of the mesentery into the wound. Careful preoperative assessment is crucial to deter­mine the position of the target node relative to the mesen­teric base and the root region of the mesentery. Excision commences by supercial division of the surrounding

mesothelium, which sometimes has the eect of render­ing the node more prominent. e dissection is then car­ried directly down on to the surface of the node, which is shelled from its mesenteric basin. Appropriate sized clips are placed on associated vessels. Importantly, blind dissec­tion of the mesentery in the hope that an impalpable node will be encountered should be avoided. If the target node is not palpable, then it is unlikely that mesenteric excavation will proceed in an uncomplicated manner.
A similar situation sometimes arises in small intestinal
threatened. Examples of settings in which this occurs include reoperative surgery for Crohn’s disease or ileal pouch exci­sion surgery [6–9]. Oentimes, the small intestinal mesentery must be separated from the associated mesocolon, retroperi­toneum, and anterior abdominal wall. It is only when one has a crystallized view of normal mesenteric anatomy that one can proceed in a manner that enables dierentiation of mes- enteric, mesocolic, omental, and retroperitoneal fat. e latter is crucial as it ensures that one does not violate or transgress anatomic planes and cause trauma.

In general, preoperative CT evaluation establishes proxim­ity of the mesenteric mass to the superior mesenteric artery and vein.

REOPERATIVE SURGERY
REFERENCES
Anatomic and mesenteric considerations of reoperative abdominal surgery will be dealt with in detail in Chapter25. Given the relevance of particular points to the current chapter, a brief discussion of the small bowel mesenteric-based prin­ciples of reoperative surgery will be included here. Reoperative surgery requires a clear understanding of mesenteric anatomy for several reasons. Given that the retroperitoneum and fascial interface may have been excavated during initial surgery, these are oen pulled up onto the lateral surface of the small intes­tine to which they can adhere. In keeping with this, retroperi­toneal structures such as the gonadal vessels and ureters are

To demonstrate the importance of mesenteric and peri­toneal factors in constructing and anastomosing an ileal pouch to the anal canal.
INTRODUCTION
Ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) is generally performed in two or three stages. In the two-stage procedure, a total mesocolectomy, proctectomy, ileal pouch formation and loop ileostomy are rst conducted. e stoma is reversed ata later time point. e three-stage procedure usually follows emergency subtotal colectomy. In the second stage, the rec­tum is removed, an ileal pouch and covering loop ileostomy constructed. Most surgeons currently do not advocate a one-stage total mesorectal and mesocolic excision followed by IPAA without covering loop ileostomy [1–7]. Proceeding chapters have described total mesocolic and mesorectal excision and so the reader is referred to these as an intro­duction to the present chapter.
A number of mesenteric principles should be adapted in ileal pouch formation and anastomosis (Figure 23.1). First, it is absolutely required that the intestinal and mes­enteric complex of ileum and mesentery be able to reach the pelvic oor comfortably without mesenteric tension. is is an important early consideration as it is preferable to identify problems with reach before pouch formation. Some bowstringing is inevitable following ileal pouch– anal anastomosis but this does not appear (as yet) to impair pouch function. In order to reach the divided distal

rectum (Figure 23.2), the small bowel mesentery must be mobilized othe retroperitoneum, as far proximally as the root region of the mesentery. As a result, the reec­tion at the base of the small intestinal mesentery must be divided up to the fourth part of the duodenum. Division of the reection exposes the mesofascial interface enabling separation of its components and detachment of the mes­entery from the retroperitoneum, without disruption of either. Itmay also be necessary, at the fourth part of the duodenum, to divide congenital adhesions between this and residual le mesocolon.
Problems with reach can persist despite the above
measures. One means of overcoming these is to carefully divide the ileal mesentery between vessels. is should be done aer rst back-lighting the mesentery to identify the vessels. Any mesenteric windows should be created away from the intestinal margin of the mesentery. Positioning them in this manner helps increase mesenteric reach.
Although the right mesocolon should also be absent
(assuming a total mesocolectomy was conducted in the rst instance), residual mesocolon can still be present in some cases. A problem arises here in so far as the small intesti­nal mesentery is continuous with the right mesocolon. is means the residual right mesocolon must be mobilized o the retroperitoneum for complete mesenteric mobilization. Adhesions from previous surgery can render this techni­cally challenging. Some surgeons divide the small bowel mesentery as close to the ileocecal junction as possible while others divide the mesentery high-up on the ileoco­lic vascular pedicle. It is not known whether this preference is associated with dierential rates of adhesion formation. Notwithstanding the above considerations, and provided the surgeon identies and follows the mesofascial interface, then it is usually possible to safely and quickly mobilize the entire mesentery.
