Vascular High Ligation and Embryological Dissection in Laparoscopic Restorative Proctocolectomy for Ulcerative Colitis

Abstract

High ligation of the vessels is not routinely performed except in the presence of malignancy. In our study, we focus on the importance of high ligation and ED for better observation and preservation of the important anatomical structures. According to our opinion, this approach aids in the preservation of the ureters, nerves, and the duodenum providing better observation of dissection planes.
