The study reviewed medical literature to assess the use and clinical significance of Fredet’s fascia in complete mesocolic excision (CME) for right-sided colon adenocarcinoma. The results showed limited utilization of the term “Fredet’s fascia” in English medical literature and conflicting definitions and boundaries. The researchers emphasized the importance of understanding Fredet’s fascia in surgical procedures to prevent vascular pedicle injuries during minimally invasive right hemicolectomies with CME. They proposed renaming it as “sub-mesocolic pre-duodenopancreatic fascia” to avoid confusion and provide a more descriptive term.
