Comparison of Mesenteric Lengthening Techniques in IPAA: An Anatomic and Angiographic Study on Fresh Cadavers

Abstract

Stepladder incisions through superior mesenteric pedicle trace are usually sufficient for mesenteric lengthening. In addition, division of the superior mesenteric pedicle with either a preserving marginal artery or without preserving ileocolic and marginal arteries leads to additional mesenteric lengthening.
