Abstract

Venous resection and reconstruction are typical during pancreaticoduodenectomy due to pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Multiple treatment options have been offered for venous injury repair. The present study used the peritoneum as a conduit for the superior mesenteric vein (SMV) reconstruction during colon cancer surgery. The case was a 55-year-old woman with colon adenocarcinoma. The SMV damage was six cm in length. The defect was replaced with a peritoneal conduit derived from the parietal peritoneum of the abdominal wall. Coalition and flow of the SMV were confirmed by contrast-enhanced computed tomography examinations. Peritoneal conduit may be a promising choice for SMV defects in emergent situations due to its availability and lower overall costs.
