Colon and Rectal Surgery

Open or laparoscopic rightcolectomy procedures can be carried out using a variety of techniques, including as medial-to-lateral and lateral-to-medial dissections.Malignancy, inflammatory bowel disease, bleeding, blockage, and ischemia are all reasons for a right colectomy. An suitable benign lesion that cannot be removed endoscopically and locally advanced malignancy with invasion into nearby structures are both indications for executing a medial-to-lateral mobilization. For a right colectomy, the medial-to-lateral method provides a number of benefits, including early closure of the vascular pedicle, which in theory could allow for more forceful specimen manipulation. The “no-touch” technique is the name of this approach.
