- Abstract
Highlights from the article: Additionally, for obese patients in whom the thick mesocolon makes it difficult to detect the pancreas in the medial approach, this approach could be a promising method for avoiding pancreatic injury. The superior layer of transverse mesocolon was dissected along the inferior border of the pancreas and gauze was placed cranially as a landmark of the root of the transverse mesocolon. The cranial-first approach could be a promising technique for safe splenic flexure mobilization and may be a useful adjunct to the classic inferior approach [[4]] in patients in whom the pancreas cannot be clearly identified.
