Abstract:Purpose: Splenic flexure mobilization (SFM) is a challenging step during laparoscopic colorectal operations. This study aims to inspect the predicting measures and consequences of lengthened SFM duration during laparoscopic distal colorectal cancer surgery.
Methods: Patients underwent elective laparoscopic anterior or low anterior resection (AR or LAR) for distal sigmoid or rectal cancer were included. Data were abstracted from a prospectively designed database. A blinded observer to the patients and procedure… Show more
