Fast Track

To mobilize the distal esophagus, the author divides the phrenoesophageal membrane, then frees the esophagus from the mediastinum.

This approach involves resection of the proximal portion of the rectum. The authors divide the ileum near the ileocecal junction. With the ureter identifi ed and secured, they move to dissect anterior to the fascia. The duodenum comes into view, then progressively the colon and attachments are freed. After they complete freeing the right colon, they move to the patient’s left side to carry out a left colectomy.
