  • Title: Laparoscopic excision of a mesenteric cyst.
    Author: Mackenzie DJ, Shapiro SJ, Gordon LA, Ress R.
    Journal: J Laparoendosc Surg; 1993 Jun; 3(3):295-9. PubMed ID: 8347889.
    Abstract:
    Benign abdominal cystic tumors are rare. They include retroperitoneal, mesenteric, and omental cysts. Most of these lesions present with vague abdominal pain and nausea. Less commonly they will present with bowel obstruction due to external compression. The diagnosis of these tumors is by abdominal ultrasound or computed tomography. Surgical enucleation is the treatment of choice. Laparoscopic surgical techniques are replacing or complimenting open abdominal surgical procedures. As the indications for these techniques increase, newer applications will arise. Presented here is a case of laparoscopic excision of a mesenteric cyst.
