Mesenteric considerations in small bowel resection

J. Calvin Coffey, Eoghan Condon, David W. Waldron

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

The anatomic properties of the small intestinal mesentery are such that it is sufficiently mobile at the intestinal margin, to permit most resections. The root region, that is, where it emerges to fan out and span the intestinal tract distal to the duodenojejunal flexure, should be avoided.
