The phrenicocolic and splenocolic ligaments were divided via a four-trocar technique in the partial SFM group, and dissection was continued with the separation of gastrocolic and pancreaticomesocolic attachments via a five-trocar procedure in the complete SFM group.

Complete SFM assures an increase in reservoir creation in patients receiving a low anterior resection. Because other parameters are identical, the decision for the level of SFM is better left to the surgeon in cases undergoing a low anterior resection, but complete SFM may be preferred in cases who are candidates for a reservoir formation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1089\/lap.2011.0409","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,3,6]],"date-time":"2012-03-06T11:27:34Z","timestamp":1331033254000},"page":"392-396","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Complete Versus Partial Mobilization of Splenic Flexure During Laparoscopic Low Anterior Resection for Rectal Tumors: A Comparative Study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Cem","family":"Gezen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Kartal Education and Research Hospital","place":["Turkey"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yunus E.","family":"Altuntas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kartal Education and Research Hospital","place":["Turkey"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Metin","family":"Kement","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kartal Education and Research Hospital","place":["Turkey"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Selahattin","family":"Vural","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kartal Education and Research Hospital","place":["Turkey"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Osman","family":"Civil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kartal Education and Research Hospital","place":["Turkey"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nuri","family":"Okkabaz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kartal Education and Research Hospital","place":["Turkey"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nihat","family":"Aksakal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kartal Education and Research Hospital","place":["Turkey"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mustafa","family":"Oncel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kartal Education and Research Hospital","place":["Turkey"]},{"name":"Medical College of Gumushane University","place":["Turkey"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa032651"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/bjs.7160"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/147323001003800317"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1470-2045(05)70221-7"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1463-1318.2007.01265.x"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/10350-006-0811-z"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_8_2","first-page":"1354","article-title":"Laparoscopic rectal resection without splenic flexure mobilization: a prospective study assessing anastomotic safety","volume":"56","author":"Kim J","year":"2009","unstructured":"Kim J, , Choi DJ, , Kim SH.
