New SMA Technique Cuts Time and Blood Loss in Colon Surgery

A modified SMA approach improves outcomes for laparoscopic right colectomy in colon cancer patients.

  • The modified SMA technique reduced operative times significantly compared to the traditional approach.
  • It also led to lower intraoperative blood loss and fewer complications.

Surgeons may want to consider using the modified SMA for safer, more efficient surgeries, especially in patients with complex vascular anatomy.

  • This technique could support better patient selection and improved recovery times.
