Teaching mesenteric principles

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

Abstract

Mesenteric-based surgery is founded on the principles of mesenteric, peritoneal, fascial, and intestinal continuity and their contiguity. In order to convey these principles in the robotic, laparoscopic, and open context, a number of educational instruments were developed. These capture the three dimensional and contiguous nature of these structures. They overcome the limitations arising from the lack of anatomic demarcation between continuous mesenteric zones. They are used interchangeably in the following chapters.
