Modified Rosi-Cahill technique after left extended colectomy for splenic flexure advanced tumors.

ABSTRACT: Advanced splenic flexure tumors are uncommon and have a higher risk of relapse. To ensure that the resection includes the entire area of lymphatic drainage with a complete mesocolic excision (CME), a left extended colectomy is needed. In peritoneal carcinomatosis, there is often extensive involvement of the sigma and splenic flexure of the colon. In many instances, total colectomies are chosen for these patients, even when a significant portion of the colon could be preserved. The potential impact on quality of life after splenic flexure colon resection is discussed, as well as the importance of anatomical knowledge and expertise in performing this type of surgery. Overall, this work presents a modified technique that aims to improve the outcomes and quality of life for patients with splen
