Abstract Our study is about assessing a technique in cancer colon surgeries in which complete mesocolic excision is done with centeral vessel ligation and comparing this technique with conventitoinal surgery of cancer colon especially on harvest lymph nodes and safety margings . This is done through a sharp meticulous dissection of the anatomical layers in which the visceral plane was dissected from the parietal one along the Toldt fascia with complete mobilization of the entire mesocolon up to the mesenteric root was performed. The resulting specimen shows the tumor and its lymphatic drainage with no tears in the fascial layers on each side of the mesocolon. In the second component, a central division of the feeding arteries at their origins is performed. For right-side tumors, the division is done at the level . |
