Laparoscopic Cattell-Braasch Maneuver
Thomas Schnelldorfer^*

Lahey Clinic, Burlington, MA

The operative technique of the laparoscopic Cattell-Braasch maneuver will be demonstrated in two patients with a duodenal and a proximal mesenteric tumor. This video emphasizes the technique of a safe laparoscopic resection with good visual exposure of the entire duodenum, proximal small bowel mesentery, and retroperitoneum despite of this anatomically difficult-to-reach area. It further demonstrates a superior and an inferior approach to the laparoscopic Cattell-Braasch maneuver best utilized depending on the underlying pathology.
