The value of mesenteric closure after laparoscopic right hemicolectomy: a scoping review.

BMC Surgery 2023 May 18
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the prognostic impact and describe suturing tools of mesenteric closure after laparoscopic right hemicolectomy (LRH).

METHODS: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, Web of Science, and Scopus databases, were searched and publications relating to mesenteric closure data and tools were extracted. Search terms: "Mesenteric Defects" and "Mesenteric Closure" were used, and manual searches of eligible articles from literature reference lists performed.

RESULT: A total of 7 publications were identified. 5 focused on prognostic impact and 4 referred to tools for mesenteric closure, two of which concerned both prognostic data and tools. All studies related to prognostic impact were single center with "low" modified GRADE quality. A high degree of heterogeneous was found.

CONCLUSION: The evidence from current research does not support routine closure of mesenteric defects. Use of a polymer ligation clip has produced favorable results in a small sample size trial and further investigation is merited. A large randomized controlled trial is still warranted.
