Abstract
We present a video-vignette illustrating an emergency laparoscopic right colectomy in an 87 year-old female with an obstructing carcinoma of the caecum (Fig.1). The small bowel loops were extremely dilated, making the procedure particularly challenging because they impaired the laparoscopic view. Both the operator and the assistant holding the camera needed to be particularly skilled and able to navigate in the abdominal cavity. By careful blunt mobilization of the distended loops a proper working space was achieved. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
