Abstract
A functional nomenclature comprises elements that can be combined in numerous formats to convey meaning that would not otherwise be apparent. An anatomic nomenclature was developed based on recent advancements in our understanding of mesenteric and peritoneal anatomy. From this, an operative nomenclature was developed, which was applied to colorectal surgery. The nomenclature is universally applicable (even in non [mal] rotation and situs inversus) and enables the application of a scientific rigor that heretofore has been lacking.
