Background: The conventional surgical model is recently questioned via the statement that there is continuity in the mesentery. The concept stating the mesentery regress seems to be accurate with the latest literature stating continuity of mesentery to rectum from the duodenojejunal junction in radiological as well as surgical findings. Aims: The present trial on cadavers was done to evaluate and access the efficacy of this newly developed technique in preserving the continuity of the mesentery and ex-vivo mesentery characterization. Materials and Methods: In 16 cadavers, a newly developed dissection technique by Kumar A et al was adopted for judging and assessing the continuity of the mesentery. The whole mesentery is separated from the abdominal cavity. These observations were recorded photographically and clinically, and the results are formulated. Results: The continuity of the mesentery was continuous and this finding was uniform in all the 16 cadavers examined in the study. As this continuity continued from mesoduodenom to mesorectum, this showed and pointed towards the intestine location at the intestinal margin of the mesentery. With this continuity, the study also depicted that anatomical boundaries that divide the various regions were not prominent on examination. Conclusion: The mesoduodenum presence not abide by the area, gender, or race. Also, the recent dissection protocol adopted in the present study allows the complete dissection of the entire continuous mesentery along with its adjoining part.
