3 Intraoperative Care
Anesthesia that promotes recovery of gastrointestinal motility is critical to enhanced recovery. Primary goals during anesthesia are limitation of the stress response to surgery, uid balance, and analgesia. Lung-protective ventilation strategies are used for all patients. Short-acting anesthetic agents are preferred during all phases of anesthesia to allow recovery to begin as quickly as possible after the case concludes. Standard physiologic monitoring during the procedure is achieved with a blood pressure cuff, pulse oximeter, and bladder catheter. A temperature probe is also placed to ensure normothermia, as alterations in body temperature can lead to coag­ulopathy, adverse cardiac events, and decreased resistance to surgical wound infec­tions [14]. Patients also undergo hourly glucose monitoring to prevent hyperglycemia.
Regional anesthetic blocks are commonly used to minimize anesthetic require­ments and reduce postoperative narcotic use. An epidural catheter with bupivacaine infusion can be used for patients undergoing open surgeries, but this should be avoided in laparoscopic colorectal resections as it has been shown to impede recov­ery in these cases [15]. Instead, most patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery receive a transverse abdominis plane (TAP) block, which has been shown to facili­tate shorter length of stay in an efcient and cost-effective manner [16].
All patients receive intraoperative antiemetics before the end of the case for pre­vention of postoperative nausea and vomiting, as this is a common barrier to early recovery. Common agents include dexamethasone, ondansetron, or haloperidol.
Liberal use of uids perioperatively is associated with delayed return of normal GI function and may increase postoperative complications associated with volume overload. Therefore, reduced volume maintenance IV uids are given continuously throughout the case with selective uid boluses as warranted [17, 18]. A urine out­put of 0.2mL/kg/h is considered acceptable.
Colorectal surgeries by nature have relatively frequent contamination of the ster­ile eld and surgical equipment that becomes soiled must be handled with care. Wound protectors are used routinely as these have been shown to reduce surgical site infections signicantly (Fig.2) [19]. The surrounding operative eld may also be protected with surgical towels at the time of bowel division. Ideally, after the bowel is closed, all contaminated instruments including suction tips and electrocau­tery are passed off the eld. All surgeons and assistants should then change their gloves before proceeding.
Routine use if intra-abdominal drains and nasogastric (NG) tubes should be avoided. NG tubes do not improve symptoms of nausea or vomiting, time of return to bowel function, or length of stay in the immediate postoperative period [2022].

Intra-abdominal drains placed during the index operation do not improve postopera­tive outcomes and are associated with drain-related complications and should there­fore be avoided [23, 24]. Foley catheters should be removed at the end of the case whenever possible.
4 Operative Approach
Regardless of which surgical procedure is chosen, there are two general approaches to mobilization of the sigmoid colon. The lateral-to-medial approach rst separates the colon from its lateral attachments along the White Line of Toldt. Alternatively, the medial-to-lateral approach enters the retroperitoneal fusion plane under the vas­cular pedicle as the initial step. Both techniques ultimately accomplish the same dissection, and it is important for surgeons to have mastered them both. Some stud­ies have shown that the medial approach may result in less blood loss, earlier return of bowel function, shorter hospital stays, and increased number of lymph nodes harvested compared to the lateral approach [25, 26].
4.1 Key Steps
1. Patient is placed in low lithotomy position with both arms tucked and buttocks
positioned at the edge of the table.
2. Access the abdominal cavity, position the patient accordingly (Trendelenburg,
“airplaned” left side up).
3. Explore the abdomen for metastatic disease (if operative indication is
malignancy).
4. Mobilization of the colon (can either be “lateral-to-medial” or
“medial-to-lateral”).
For lateral-to-medial approach:
(a) Incise the White Line of Toldt to release the colon’s peritoneal attachments.

(b) Identify and preserve the ureter. (c) Mobilize the splenic exure (optional, depending on length of colon needed
for anastomosis).
(d) Inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) ligation.
For a medial-to-lateral approach:
(a) Incise the retroperitoneal fusion plane under the inferior mesenteric
artery (IMA).
(b) Identify the retroperitoneal fusion plane and lift the colon mesentery toward
the abdominal wall, leaving the retroperitoneum down. (c) Identify and preserve the ureter. (d) Inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) ligation. (e) Divide the lateral attachments along the White Line of Toldt. (f) Mobilize the splenic exure (optional, depending on length of colon needed
for anastomosis).
5. Colon transection.
6. Mesorectal dissection of the upper rectum.
7. Transect at the rectosigmoid junction/upper rectum.
8. Remove specimen.
9. Create anastomosis.
10. Leak test.
11. Abdominal closure.

5 Open Sigmoid Colectomy
After the patient is positioned, an exploratory laparotomy is performed by creating a lower midline incision from umbilicus to pubis. Care should be taken to avoid the bladder inferiorly by incising the peritoneum in a lateral direction as the incision nears the pubic symphysis. Wound protectors are placed, as these have been shown to decrease rates of surgical site infections (Fig.2) [19]. The patient is then placed in slight Trendelenburg with the table “airplaned” with patient’s left side up to facil­itate packing the small bowel into the right upper quadrant of the abdomen for improved exposure. The sigmoid colon is retracted towards midline to expose the White Line of Toldt. Electrocautery is used to make an initial entry into the retro­peritoneal fusion plane and then a combination of blunt dissection and electrocau­tery are used to release the lateral attachments along the line of Toldt (Fig.3). This is extended proximally and distally in a bloodless plane. The sigmoid and descend­ing colon mesentery are separated from the retroperitoneum with continuous gentle rolling of the colon in a lateral-to-medial direction towards midline. It is during this step that the left ureter should be identied. In the lower abdomen, it is often seen medial to the gonadal vessels, crossing over the common iliac artery at the pelvic brim. Stimulation of the ureter with a gentle pinch causes it to vermiculate, which helps to conrm the anatomy.

Fig. 3 In an open colectomy, dissection typically begins laterally, at the White Line of Told, shown here (in an exaggerated fashion due to the dilation of this colon). Once a rent is scored at the line, a nger can typically be nuzzled in this plane to create space (panel a) and electrocautery used to divide the tissue (panel b)

Splenic flexure
Fig. 4 The lateral dissection proceeds proximally towards the splenic exure, rolling the colon medially away from the retroperitoneum (panel a). When necessary, the splenic exure attach­ments may need mobilized in order to achieve adequate length on the colon for anastomosis. The splenic exure attachments are typically thicker than those along the White Line. When the omen­tum is encountered at the distal transverse colon, the distal omental-colic attachments should be divided in the avascular plane close to the colon. This will allow access to the lesser sac (panels b and c)
Mobilization of the splenic exure is not always required, but aids in creating a tension-free anastomosis in many cases. Care must be taken as bleeding from the spleen can occur that may be difcult to control. The splenocolic ligament, which is typically thicker than expected, is divided with cautery as the turn around the ex­ure is made (Fig. 4). Continued blunt, gentle rolling of the colon medially will facilitate this maneuver. The gastrocolic ligament and distal omental-colic attach­ments are divided until the lesser sac is entered. Finally, attachments of the splenic exure to the tail of the pancreas are taken down. The left colon should now be mobilized to the midline.
The proximal and distal sigmoid colon is held up in order to expose the root of the sigmoid mesocolon. The IMA is then dissected circumferentially and ligated

Bipolar energy device
Fig. 5 Panel a: A window is created on either side of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) pedicle and an energy device (in this image) is used to divide it. Conrmation of the location of the ureter should always be conrmed prior to dividing. A stapler or suture-ligature may also be used to divide the pedicle. Panel b: An energy device is used to march proximally along the colon mesen­tery to the desired point of division. Care is taken to preserve the marginal artery, which runs paral­lel along and close to the colon
(using either a stapler, clips, ties, or bipolar cautery), taking note of the location and safety of the ureter prior to doing so (Fig.5). The colon mesentery is then divided between the sigmoid and descending colon to the pre-determined points of colonic transection. The colon is transected proximally (most commonly with a linear cut­ting stapler or sharply) between the sigmoid and descending colon segments (usu­ally at the level of the IMA takeoff). Distal transection is then performed (typically with a TA or Contour™ stapler) just past the rectosigmoid junction (Fig. 6). The remaining mesenteric attachments are then divided, and the specimen is removed.
A stapled or hand-sewn anastomosis can be performed with equivalent rates of anastomotic leaks [27]. For stapled anastomoses, creation of an end-to-end anasto­mosis (EEA) is most common. An end-to-side or side-to-side anastomosis may also be created, however, depending on the anatomical considerations. The EEA stapler size is chosen based on the colon size (typically a 29mm is used) (Fig.7). The sta­pler anvil is placed in the descending colon limb by making a colotomy and placing a purse-string suture circumferentially. It is important to ensure good apposition of the bowel to the anvil shaft circumferentially, which often means excluding epi­ploica, colonic fat and diverticula from the surface of the anvil. After the anus and rectum are dilated, the end-to-end circular (EEA) stapler is then inserted trans­anally into the rectum and the stapler spike is extended (opened) at the preferred location on the rectum so that it may be approximated with the anvil. The tension on the anastomosis is checked and the proper orientation of the mesentery (to make sure no twisting has occurred) is conrmed prior to ring the stapler. After the

This device afxes a row of staples on each side of the desired transection point and cuts between them.

The spike is advanced and then the anvil with proximal colon attached is married to the spike. The ends are brought together as the stapler is closed and then “red,” or stapled.

stapler is red, it is then opened and slowly removed from the rectum and anus using small twisting motions. The anastomotic rings are then inspected for com­pleteness and sent as a specimen for pathologic evaluation. Alternatively, a hand­sewn anastomosis may be performed using a double layer closure. An absorbable suture is placed full thickness through the colon and rectum walls in a running fashion. The second layer is performed by placing absorbable suture with the Lembert technique through the serosa of the colon and adventitia of the rectum to form a buttress. No anastomotic rings are produced with a hand-sewn anastomosis.

After the anastomosis has been created, many surgeons will evaluate its integrity by performing an air-leak test. The surgeon occludes the proximal colon with his/ her ngers and submerges the anastomosis under saline irrigation. The rectum is then insufated with air using a exible endoscope and the surgeon carefully observes for air bubbles. A rigid proctoscope can also be used for performing a leak test, but it does not allow for intraluminal visualization of the anastomosis as exi­ble endoscopy does. Finally, the abdomen is inspected for hemostasis before closing the abdominal wall using the surgeon’s preferred technique.

6 Minimally Invasive Sigmoid Colectomy
Minimally invasive approaches to colon resections have been shown to result in decreased blood loss, decreased pain, accelerated food tolerance, earlier return of bowel function, earlier return to baseline level of function, and shorter lengths of hospital stay. Rates of wound infections are decreased with minimally invasive tech­niques, but rates of deep space infections remain the same [2830]. Disease-free and overall survival for patients with colon cancer undergoing open or minimally invasive approaches are comparable [31]. Minimally invasive colon resections can be performed with laparoscopic, hand-assisted laparoscopic, or robotic-assisted laparoscopic techniques. These differ in setup and instrumentation, but the overall operative principles remain the same. The techniques described in the following sections are one of several acceptable approaches to these procedures. Therefore, variation can be expected across institutions and among surgeons.
7 Laparoscopic Sigmoid Colectomy
After the patient is positioned and draped, the surgeon stands on the patient’s right side with the scrub nurse standing to their right. The assistant stands on the left side of the table. Two monitors, one facing the surgeon and one facing the assistant, are used. Entry into the abdomen can be accomplished via an open Hasson technique, Veress needle, or Optical entry at the surgeon’s discretion. The abdomen is insuf­ated, and the laparoscope is inserted. The abdominal cavity is inspected rst before proceeding to place three additional 5-mm working ports under direct visualization in the right upper, right lower, and left lower quadrants of the abdomen. Adhesions are lysed if necessary. The operating table is rotated into Trendelenburg position with the patient’s left side up to improve exposure and retraction of the omentum and small intestine into the right upper quadrant.
While the lateral-to-medial approach may be more commonly used during open sigmoidectomies, the medial-to-lateral dissection is technically less challenging to perform with a minimally invasive approach and is therefore more commonly used during these procedures. As mentioned previously, the medial-to-lateral dissection

may benet patients by decreasing blood loss, increasing lymph node harvest, and decreasing the time to return of bowel function and length of hospital stay [25, 26]. Using a bowel grasper, the sigmoid colon is lifted toward the anterior abdominal wall which tents the base of its mesentery at the sacral promontory (Fig.8, panel b). Access to the proper avascular plane posterior to the inferior mesenteric vessels is easiest at the sacral promontory. The peritoneum is incised below the IMA across the promontory. A wide mesenteric window is created around the origin of the IMA toward the IMV.The line of fusion of the sigmoid mesentery and retroperitoneal fascia is identied underneath the inferior mesenteric vessels and the RP fascia is swept dorsally. The dissection is continued from medial to lateral, beginning at the separation of the mesocolon and the retroperitoneum, exposing the left ureter and gonadal vessels, which are preserved in the retroperitoneum (Fig.9). Only after these structures are identied should the IMA be divided (Fig.10). Division of the IMA pedicle can be done in multiple ways depending on surgeon preference. Some surgeons prefer to staple the pedicle, others clip and use bipolar cautery, and some may use a bipolar cautery device alone. The hypogastric nerve plexus is located next to the IMA takeoff and affects sexual function in males. The dissection should therefore proceed directly beneath the pedicle and extend laterally. The sigmoid and descending mesocolon are dissected off the retroperitoneum with the

Opening the free space
Fig. 11 Dissection continues, pushing the retroperitoneum down (panel a) until the lateral abdominal wall is encountered and until the top of the kidney (Gerota’s fascia) is pushed down and away from the colon. The dissection then transitions to a lateral approach(panel b). The starting point is identied by the thin, purple tissue lateral to the sigmoid colon(panel c), which is the dis­sected plane from under the IMA pedicle. This "free space" which connects to the medial dissec­tion is opened with cautery (panel d)
medial-to-lateral approach. The majority of colonic mobilization comes from this separation off the retroperitoneum rather than release of the lateral attachments along the White Line of Toldt. The mesocolon is held up (anteriorly) and the sur­geon dissects along the transition between Gerota’s fascia in the retroperitoneum and the mesocolon (Fig. 11, Panel a). This dissection is carried laterally to the
Sigmoid Colectomy
https://t.me/med1917
abdominal wall, superiorly to the splenic exure, and inferiorly to the level of the pelvic inlet. The ureter and gonadal vessels should again be identied and preserved intact in the retroperitoneum. After completing the medial-to-lateral portion of the mobilization from the sacral promontory to the splenic exure over Gerota’s fascia, the lateral retroperitoneal attachments are divided off the sigmoid colon by retract­ing the colon medially and transecting them from a lateral direction (Fig.11, Panels b, c, and d). It is important to once again identify the left ureter and gonadal vessels to avoid injuring them. If done properly, only a small amount of lateral dissection should be needed before the dissection plane created from the medial side is encoun­tered. The lateral mobilization is taken superiorly toward the splenic exure. If nec­essary, the exure is mobilized as described above.
The point of distal transection is then selected. A spot just distal to the rectosig­moid junction (identied by splaying of the tinea coli) is chosen. The mesentery is scored at this point close to the bowel wall. The mesorectum is divided at this loca­tion with cautery while being cautious not to injure the bowel wall. The colon is then transected with a laparoscopic stapler.
To perform an extracorporeal (“outside the body”) anastomosis, the abdomen is desufated, the umbilical port is extended, and a wound protector is placed. The sigmoid colon is pulled through this incision until an appropriate location for the proximal side of the anastomosis is reached. The bowel is transected at this location and the sigmoid colon is passed off the surgical eld as specimen. A purse string suture is placed either manually or by using a purse string device. The anvil for an EEA stapler is placed in the descending colon and the purse string suture is drawn up and tied.
The colon with the anvil in place is dropped back into the abdomen and the fascia fashioned shut (or covered with a gel-port) so that insufation can be established once again. Under laparoscopic visualization, the anus and rectum are dilated, and the EEA stapler is inserted into the anal canal until it reaches the proximal rectum. The spike is advanced through the rectal wall next to the staple line. The spike and anvil are approximated, and the EEA stapler is closed and deployed. The stapler is then removed, and the anastomotic donuts are inspected for completeness. A leak test is performed prior to abdominal closure.

8 Hand-Assisted Laparoscopic (HAL) Sigmoid Colectomy
This approach uses a hand access port to assist with dissection and resection. It restores tactile feedback to the surgeon and facilitates dissection in cases with com­plicated anatomy. The HAL sigmoid colectomy maintains all of the established short-term outcome benets of conventional laparoscopic surgery over open sur­gery. It is also associated with a higher usage rate, decreased operative times, and lower conversion rate to open approach when compared with a conventional laparo­scopic approach [31]. Postoperative complications are equivalent and long-term oncologic outcomes are similar between all approaches.
