Abstract
- Background: Creation of a tension-free colorectal anastomosis after left colon resection or low anterior resection is a key requirement for technical success. The relative contribution of each of a series of known lengthening maneuvers remains incompletely characterized.<br />Objective: The aim of this study was to compare technical procedures for lengthening of the left colon before rectal anastomosis.<br />Design: A series of lengthening maneuvers was performed on 15 fresh cadavers. Mean distance gained was measured for each successive maneuver, including 1) high inferior mesenteric artery ligation, 2) splenic flexure takedown, and 3) high inferior mesenteric vein ligation by the ligament of Treitz.<br />Setting: Cadaveric study.<br />Main Outcome Measures: The premobilization and postmobilization position of the proximal colonic end was measured relative to the inferior edge of the sacral promontory. Measurements of the colonic length relative to the sacral promontory were taken after each mobilization maneuver. The inferior mesenteric artery, sigmoid colon, and rectum specimen lengths were measured. The distance from the inferior border of the sacral promontory to the pelvic floor was measured along the sacral curvature.<br />Results: Mean sigmoid colon resection length was 34.7 ± 11.1 cm. Before any lengthening, baseline reach was -1.3 ± 4.2 cm from the sacral promontory. Inferior mesenteric artery ligation yielded an additional 11.5 ± 4.7 cm. Subsequent splenic flexure takedown added an additional 12.8 ± 9.6 cm. Finally, inferior mesenteric vein ligation added an additional 11.33 ± 6.9 cm, bringing the total colonic length to 35.7 ± 14.7 cm. BMI and weight negatively correlated with length gained.<br />Limitations: The study was limited by nature of being a cadaver study.<br />Conclusions: Stepwise lengthening maneuvers allow significant additional reach to allow a tension-free left colon to rectal anastomosis.

La relativa contribución de las diversas maniobras de alargamiento permanece caracterizada de manera incompleta.OBJETIVO:El propósito de este estudio fue la de comparar procedimientos técnicos de alargamiento del colon izquierdo previo a la anastomosis rectal.DISEÑO:Una serie de maniobras de alargamiento fueron realizados en 15 cadáveres frescos. La distancia promedio ganada fue medida para cada maniobra sucesiva, incluyendo (1) ligadura alta de la arteria mesentérica inferior, (2) descenso del ángulo esplénico, (3) ligadura alta de la vena mesentérica interior mediante el ligamento de Treitz.AJUSTES:Estudio cadavérico.PRINCIPALES MEDIDAS DE RESULTADO:La posición premobilizacion y postmobilizacion del extremo proximal del colon fue medido tomando en cuenta el borde inferior del promontorio sacro. Las mediciones de la longitud colónica en relación al sacro fueron tomadas luego de cada maniobra de movilización. Fueron tomadas así mismo las longitudes de la arteria mesentérica inferior, el colon sigmoides y recto. Las distancias desde el borde inferior del promontorio sacro al suelo pelvico fueron medidas a lo largo de la curvatura sacra.RESULTADOS:Average sigmoid colon resection length was 34.7 ± 11.1 cm. Prior to any lengthening, baseline reach was -1.3 ± 4.2 cm from the sacral promontory. Inferior mesenteric artery ligation yielded an additional 11.5 ± 4.7 cm. Subsequent splenic flexure takedown added an additional 12.8 ± 9.6 cm. Finally, inferior mesenteric vein ligation added an additional 11.33 ± 6.9 cm, bringing the total colonic length to 35.7 ± 14.7 cm. BMI and weight negatively correlated with length gained.LIMITACIONES:Este estudio tuvo como limitación la naturaleza de haber sido un estudio cadavérico.CONCLUSIONES:Maniobras de alargamiento permiten un alcance adicional significativo permitiendo de esta manera una anastomosis de colon izquierdo a recto libre de anastomosis.
