Colorectal Surgery
Colon, rectum and anus: cancer resections planned on embryological planes, inflammatory bowel disease, diverticular disease and its perforations, and the stomas that make radical surgery survivable. The specialty where anatomy, oncology and function meet most visibly.
Surgical anatomy
Anatomy
The structures the operations walk past, and the ones they must not injure.
The structures the operations walk past, and the ones they must not injure. Real plates and photographs only; the 3D lab carries the BodyParts3D specimens.
Anatomy media needed
No verified anatomical plates are assigned to this specialty’s operations yet. The 3D lab and the danger-zone atlas below still apply.
Danger zones
What must not be injured
Left colectomy and Hartmann's
Left ureter
In inflammation or bleeding the retroperitoneal planes close up, and the ureter's peristalsis, its one identifying trick, is easy to miss in a hurried field.
Protect it: Find it and see it peristalse before dividing anything; if the field is hostile, find it higher where the planes are virgin and follow it down.
