Abstract:
Lapareseopic colectomy is commonly performed,but laparoscopic extended right hemicolectomy with D3 lymphadenectomy for cancer located at hepatic flexure of the colon is a complex procedure,even in the hands of experts.Laparoscopic dissection of the lymph nodes around the middle colonic and right gastroepiploic vessels are so complicated that precise vascular anatomy and surgical plane are essential to complete this procedure safely.We herein describe a standard technique for performing laparoscopic extended right hemicolectomy with D3 lymphadenectomy using a medial-to-lateral approach.The main surgical plane of this procedure is the right Toldt's space.The superior mesenteric vein (SMV) is the most important anatomical landmark of vascular dissection.Medial-to-lateral approach makes it easy to locate the right Toldt's space and the SMV.
