Background: Reconstruction with transverse colon-rectal anastomosis after an extended left hemicolectomy can be challenging. The Deloyers procedure, first described in 1964, comprises complete mobilization and rotation of the right colon, while maintaining the ileocolic artery, to achieve a well vascularized, tension-free colorectal anastomosis. We present a video of a laparoscopic Deloyers procedure with Indocyanin green (ICG) fluorescence as a useful adjunct. Read More

Introduction: This How-I-Do-It article presents a modified Deloyers procedure by mean of the case of a 67-year-old female with adenocarcinoma extending for a long segment and involving the splenic flexure and proximal descending colon who underwent a laparoscopic left extended hemicolectomy (LELC) with derotation of the right colon and primary colorectal anastomosis.

Background: While laparoscopic extended right colectomy is a well-established procedure, LELC is rarely used (mainly for distal transverse or proximal descending colon carcinomas extending to the area of the splenic flexure). LELC presents several technical challenges which are demonstrated in this How-I-Do-It article. Read More

Background: Deloyers procedure enables anastomosis of the ascending colon to the rectum following extended resections that prevent usual fashion anastomosis. During the procedure, the right colon is completely mobilized and counterclockwise rotated to allow tension free and well-vascularized anastomosis while preserving the ileocecal valve. The purpose of this manuscript is to report our experience with laparoscopic Deloyers procedure in a hostile abdomen due to adhesions from previous surgeries. Read More
