[Transverse Colectomy with D2 Lymph Node Dissection with a Small Incision Using Body Surface 3D-Simulation CT Colonography].

Laparoscopic transverse colectomy is technically difficult. In mini-laparotomy surgery, colectomy for midtransverse colon cancer can easily be performed, but exact D2 lymph node dissection is very difficult for a variety of vessels in the transverse colon. Using 3D-CT imaging, we present a case of D2 lymph node dissection where mini-laparotomy transverse colectomy was performedby a small incision similar to that usedin laparoscopic surgery.The...
