236 Mesenteric component of sigmoid colectomy
Mesosigmoidal mobilization proceeds in a “zigzag”
manner, that is, in transverse and craniocaudal directions.
Eventually, further mobilization will be impeded as the
IMA curves toward the aorta. Here, bers of Toldt’s fascia
coalesce with mesosigmoidal connective tissue.
At this stage in the procedure, some surgeons promptly
divide the IMA with a tissue sealant device. Others use linear
stapling devices to divide the pedicle, sometimes including
part of the avascular interpedicular region proximal to it
(Figure 17.3). Clips can also be placed across and the IMA
divided between these (Figure 17.3). Some prefer to fully
skeletonize the artery. is has advantages in that it facili-
tates gaining control of any residual bleeding following
vascular division. To fully skeletonize the vessel, the 30°
lens is reoriented to visualize the avascular interpedicular
mesentery cephalad to the adipovascular pedicle. e latter

ceed quickly as it is an avascular mesentery. Itis important
however as it helps in further skeletonizing and isolating the
adipovascular pedicle.
Next, mesenteric fat on the far side of the vessel (i.e.,
out of direct view) remains to be freed from the vessel
surface. A blunt-tipped curved retractor can be employed
in thissetting. is form of retractor has a gently curved
blade with a blunt rubber tip. As it is retractable, one can
vary thelength of the blade exposed. e curvature means
that it can be gently introduced behind a vessel and used
to tease open a gap between the vessel surface and adja-
cent tissue. is retractor may not be necessary in robotic
colorectal surgery when the wristed tips of the instruments
mean the tips can be gently introduced behind the vessel
in question.
Linear staplers can generally be can be inserted through
the 10/12mm port in the right iliac fossa, articulated so
that the thin blade inserts posterior to the vessel and closed
on the vessel for 1 minute for extrusion of residual edema.

Prior to vascular division the surgeon is advised to have
a clip application device available. at way, any residual
bleeding from the staple-divided edge of the vessel can
be promptly controlled. Persistent bleeding at this point
requires that the pedicle stump be gently grasped (using an
atraumatic grasper) and suture loop placed and snugged
securely. Analternative is to place a Babcocks clamp around
the pedicle prior to its division. If there is residual bleeding,
this can be promptly controlled with the clamp while a clip
applicator is prepared for denitive haemostasis.
Aer IMA division, the upper region of the opera-
tive fi ld is occupied by the left mesocolon, the interface
between it, and underlying fascia (i.e., the mesofascial
interface). elower part of the operative fi ld is occupied
by the retroperitoneum and overlying fascia (Figure 17.4).
Further dissection involves liing the mesocolon anteri-
orly and displacing Toldt’s fascia posteriorly. e resultant
“mesofascial separation” is continued as far cephalad and
lateral as possible, leading to left mesocolic mobilization.
Laterally, the colon is reached and colofascial separation

exposes the left peritoneal reection. is attachment is
retained for the present as it prevents the colon falling into
the operative fi ld.
e left mesocolon is then divided across toward the
colon (i.e., mesenterotomy). Lateral to the duodenojejunal
exure, the inferior mesenteric vein (IMV) will be encoun-
tered. Skeletonization and division are completed using the
steps described earlier in management of the IMA adipo-
vascular pedicle. Once divided, the avascular interpedicular
region of the left mesocolon is apparent and can be quickly
divided through until the intestinal margin of the mesentery
is reached. e focus of dissection returns to the mesosig-
moid, and medial to lateral mobilization of this follows the
same principles of mesofascial separation. When complete,
only the lateral peritoneal reection at the base of the meso-
sigmoid remains to be divided. Peritonotomy is temporarily
deferred as the reection suspends the mesosigmoid, thus
preventing it from falling into the operative fi ld.
e 30° lens is reoriented to visualize the peritoneal
reection at the lateral aspect of the mesosigmoid and
descending colon. is continuous structure is divided
using the sealant device or a scissors with minimal bleed-
ing (minor vessels occur in the submesothelial connective
tissue). Peritonotomy is continued as far proximally as the
splenic exure. By now, the intestine and mesentery from
the splenic exure to the rectosigmoid junction have been
fully detached from the posterior abdominal wall.
It is usually necessary to mobilize the upper part of the
rectum as part of mesosigmoidectomy. e mesofascial plane
used to mobilize the left mesocolon and mesosigmoid is con-
tinued distally beneath the mesorectum. e right and le
pararectal peritoneal reections are divided, thereby exposing
the underlying mesorectal/fascial interface and component
separation here leads to mobilization of the upper rectum.
Although splenic exural mobilization is not an absolute
requirement, some do this routinely to be certain of ade-
quatei ntestina l and mesenteric reach. e patient is placed in
the reverse Trendlenberg position, and the greater omentum
is grasped just distal to the gastroepiploic arcade by both the
assistant and surgeon (Figure 17.5). Tissue sealant devices
can be used to dissect directly through the greater omen-
tum and enter the lesser sac. e dissection is then contin-
ued across the greater omentum toward the splenic exure.
At the exure, the greater omentum and the splenocolic
reection coalesce to a variable degree. e resultant com-
plex is directly divided through until the cephalad aspect of
the transverse mesocolon is reached. e colon in the region
of the splenic exure can then be gently grasped (using an
atraumatic grasper) and retracted toward the patient’s right.
In doing this, tension is transmitted to the mesocolon and
thereaer to the mesofascial interface (Figure 17.6). is
activity demonstrates the colo- and mesofascial interface
at the exure, and component separation of each interface
leads to full mobilization of the splenic exure.
e surgical focus returns to the rectosigmoid region
where the mesosigmoid continues as the mesorectum. Many
surgeons will aim to ensure sucient gastromesenteric
length for a tension-free colorectal anastomosis and will
mobilize the upper rectum (see earlier). Following mobili-
zation the nal stage involves mesenterotomy of the meso-
rectum for which a number of approaches can be adopted.
One approach involves direct dissection across the meso-
rectum using a tissue sealant device such as the Harmonic
®
scalpel or a vessel sealer under high magnication and close
view. e latter are important as the superior rectal artery
and vein will be encountered and should be skeletonized
and divided. ey are generally small enough in diameter
for hemostatic division with the vessel sealer or other tissue
sealant devices. eremainder of the mesorectum can then
be divided across to the serosal surface. Once mesenteric
fat has been cleared from the serosa, the rectum is divided
using an appropriate linear stapling device (see Chapter 15
on instrumentation).
A short Pfannenstiel incision is made and the intestine
and mesentery exteriorized through a wound retractor. As
the mesentery has been fully mobilized, tension should be
minimal. e previous approach also ensures adequate
bowel length should a more distal (even coloanal) anasto-
mosis be required. e proximal resection margin is identi-
fi d and the mesenterotomy completed to the serosal surface
using a bovie or tissue sealant device. At the proximal colic
margin, it is important to assess for adequate mesenteric
vascularity. An artery clip is placed distally while the proxi-
mal mesentery is sharply divided. e result should be brisk
and pulsatile mesenteric bleeding that requires direct con-
trol with application of a further clip or ligature. Mesenteric
(and not mucosal bleeding) is regarded by many as the most
important determinant of adequate anastomotic vascularity.
e proximal intestinal margin must be prepared for anas-
tomosis by clearing the serosa of mesentery. is ensures all
bowel wall layers are visible for anastomosis (see Chapter 16).
OPEN MESOSIGMOIDECTOMY
Even in open surgery, minimization of the laparotomy is
preferable as an infraumbilical incision is associated with
less postoperative pain and earlier recovery [20]. In this
context, it is important to evaluate the preoperative CT
abdomen and review the lesion for resection and the clini-
cal context. For example, the mesenterectomy required
in benign disease (e.g., Crohn’s disease or short segment
diverticulosis) can be limited, while the oncologic mesen-
terectomy must be extensive to ensure adequate lymphad-
enectomy. If access to the root of the IMA pedicle and IMV
are required, then an extensive midline laparotomy may
be necessary. At open surgery, mobilization of the splenic
exure is impeded when mesenteric access is impeded, and
rather than representing a technical inadequacy, an appro-
priately sized laparotomy is the safest and optimal approach.
e techniques of ensuring adequate access to the
mesocolon, and mesosigmoid have been dealt with in detail
elsewhere but will be briey touched on here. A reliable
self-retaining retractor is required and examples include

spent in setting up the latter is justiable, as the retraction
provided and mesenteric access are excellent. is combina-
tion is essential in achieving the goals of mesenteric-based
colorectal surgery, and concurrently facilitates education of
these principles.
Important initial steps are aimed at setting up the opera-
tive fi ld; these involve mobilization of the small bowel and
its mesentery off the left mesocolon, and liing the meso-
sigmoid out of the pelvis. e small intestine and mesentery
can either be tucked away using a large moist swab in the
right upper quadrant or exteriorized and held in place again
with a moist swab and large Deaver retractor. It is frequently
necessary to divide adhesions that tether nearby structures
(including the fourth part of the duodenum) to the left-sid d
mesocolon (Figure 17.7).
In general in open mesosigmoidectomy, most adopt a
lateral to medial approach starting by dividing congenital
adhesions between the lateral aspect of the mesosigmoid and
parietal peritoneum (Figure 17.8). Th s provides access to the
base of the lateral aspect of the mobile mesosigmoid where

it curves down and becomes attached or apposed to the
posterior abdominal wall. If the peritoneal refl ction at the
lateral aspect of the mesosigmoid is divided (Figure17.8),
the mesofascial interface is visualized and component sepa-
ration can be conducted to mobilize the mesosigmoid. Th sis
oen easier said than done as the mesosigmoidal fascia is
remarkably thin here and can easily be missed. A medial to
lateral approach is favored for neoplastic disease to minimize
manipulation of the tumor and permit early vascular and
venous drainage control.

244 Mesenteric component of sigmoid colectomy
Given the diculty associated with identifying the meso-
fascial interface in this region, most tend not to divide the
peritoneal reection at this particular level. Instead they li
the junction between the sigmoid and the descending colon
forward. Peritonotomy here exposes the junction between
the colon and underlying fascia and more readily enables
colofascial separation (Figure 17.8c and d). Colofascial sepa-
ration exposes the mesofascial interface and components of
this are separated. is mobilizes the distal left mesocolon,
and once the correct plane has been identifi d, it can then
be developed distally under the mesosigmoid (Figure 17.9).
Further caudal mobilization requires division of the lat-
eral peritoneal reection, mesofascial separation, and liing
of the mesosigmoid forward off the fascia. e fascia under-
lying the mesosigmoid is areolar in nature and less distinct
(compared with that beneath the left mesocolon). us, it is
relatively easier (even for experienced surgeons) to digress
into an intra-mesosigmoidal or retrofascial plane, in this
region (Figure 17.10). is risk increases in local inamma-
tion where the mesosigmoid, fascia, and underlying retro-
peritoneum densely adhere. Intramesosigmoidal dissection
is followed by increased bleeding. Retrofascial dissection
exposes bers of the iliopsoas muscle. Many trainees (and
sometimes experienced surgeons) commence attempts at
mesosigmoidal mobilization in this region and inevitably
end up excavating through to inappropriate planes. is
can be avoided by commencing mesosigmoidal mobiliza-
tion at the level of the distal descending colon, as described
earlier.
Lateral to medial mesosigmoidal mobilization is contin-
ued as far medially as possible until the peritoneal reection
at right side of the mesosigmoid impedes further progress
(Figure 17.11). At this point, the sigmoid and mesosigmoid
are placed under anterior tension, thereby transmitting
tension to the mesofascial interface and exaggerating the
peritoneal reection. Peritonotomy here exposes the meso-
fascial interface and component separation joins the lateral
and medial plane of dissection (Figure 17.12). e surgeon
then places his or her left hand and index nger through the
window so created to lift the adipovascular pedicle contain-
ing the IMA forward. is permits further mobilization of
the adipovascular pedicle off the retroperitoneum up to the
level where the IMA curves down on to the aorta. Next the
avascular mesenteric region proximal to the IMA is identi-
fi d and divided, further isolating the IMA within its ped-
icle. e IMA can be fully skeletonized, clamped, divided,
and suture ligated with 0-0 Vicryl
®
sutures (Figure 17.12).
It is important to recognize and avoid the sympathetic
nerve bers in the para-aortic area at this level.
Left mesocolic mobilization is progressed by separating
the left mesocolon off the underlying fascia and continuing
this as far cephalad as possible. In open cases, one can place
one’s left hand under the left mesocolon and use the right
to sweep the mesocolon away from the mesofascial interface
