		BACKGROUND: Resection of lesions of the root of the mesentery is difficult because of their proximity to the blood supply of the intestine.
		For this reason, curative, clear margin resection of lesions with an extensive involvement of the root of the mesentery is sometimes impossible using the conventional surgical procedures.
		STUDY DESIGN: We describe a surgical technique drawn from our experience in intestinal transplantation, in which the root of the mesentery including the lesion, as well as the head or the entire pancreas, duodenum, small intestine and part of the colon are excised en block and preserved in a cold solution.

		In addition to diffuse thickening and fine nodularity of the mesentery and infiltration of the mesenteric fat, CT features that suggest the diagnosis include enhancement and smooth thickening of the peritoneum, high density ascites, thickening of the bowel wall, particularly the terminal ileum and the cecum and low attenuation mesenteric nodes [12] [13] [24].

		The stomach and intestine (gut tube) in the embryo are attached by a continuous mesentery to the posterior abdominal wall.
		It is usually stated that the liver grows ventrally from the diaphragm into the ventral mesentary, thereby dividing it into (1) a portion from the anterior abdominal wall to the liver, i.e., the falciform ligament, and (2) a part from the liver to the stomach and duodenum, i.e., the lesser omentum.

	Alterations of the Rat Mesentery Vasculature in Experimental Diabetes
		SUMMARY: The alteration induced by diabetes on vascular permeability to serum albumin was investigated in the mesentery of streptozotocin-induced hyperglycemic rats.
		I and dinitrophenol-haptenated) heterologous albumin was intravenously administered in normal and hyperglycemic animals, and the extravasation of the tracer was evaluated by radioactivity measurements and by morphometry at the ultrastructural level using quantitative protein A-colloidal gold immunocytochemistry.
		After 3 months of diabetes, the rats presented a net increase in the average diameter of the blood vessels localized in the mesentery arcada (macrovascular hyperplasy) and a notable angiogenesis, manifested at the level of the microvasculature in the mesenteric windows.

		That which is absorbed by the lacteals is carried through a labyrinthine network, knotted by many glands, called the mesentery, and is then collected into a vessel about the size of a finger, situated on the right side of the spinal column, just under the diaphragm, called the receptacle of chyle.
		Here it is mingled with the lymph returned by the lymphatics from all the viscera of the abdomen and thorax; and then, through and irregular tube called the thoracic duct, it ascends nearly to the neck, emptying usually into the vein that returns the blood from the left arm to the heart.
		The fibres of the network of lacteals run from one gland to another, having also threads which pursue their course with more directness; so that it is possible for the chyle to pass through several glands, or, perhaps, to enter none at all, on its way to the receptacle.

	Which surgery for bowel cancer?

		The gut is also intimately associated with a structure of mesodermal origin called the mesentery (indicated in blue in figure 1) that plays a fundamental role in both gut development and the normal function of the adult digestive system.
		The ventral mesentery degenerates during development with the exception of the foregut ventral mesentery, which develops into specialized structures (see foregut embryology).
		The dorsal mesentery is formed by a double layer of mesothelium that suspends the gut from the dorsal wall of the foregut to the hindgut (see fig.

	eMedicine - Mesenteric and Omental Cysts : Article by Amulya K Saxena, MD
		Mesenteric cysts can occur anywhere in the mesentery of the gastrointestinal tract from the duodenum to the rectum, and they may extend from the base of the mesentery into the retroperitoneum (Egozi, 1997; Takiff, 1985).
		In a series of 162 patients, 60% of mesenteric cysts occurred in the small-bowel mesentery, 24% in the large-bowel mesentery, and 14.5% in the retroperitoneum.
		For the purposes of this discussion, a mesenteric cyst is defined as any cyst that is located in the mesentery and may or may not extend into the retroperitoneum; a mesenteric cyst also has a recognizable lining of endothelial or mesothelial cells.

	Peritoneum
		The term mesentery tends to be used as a generic term describing peritoneal extensions not only from the intestine (as -entery implies), but from all abdominal and pelvic organs.
		To be more precise, and less offensive to language purists, sections of peritoneum that suspend specific organs are individually named; for example, mesogastrium for the stomach, mesojejunum for the jejunum and mesometrium for the uterus.
		An important feature of mesentery is that it serves as a conduit for blood vessels, nerves and lymphatic vessels going to and from the organ in question.

	Mesenteric paraganglioma: A case report and review of the literature Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine - ...
		We report such a case of extra-adrenal paraganglioma occurring in the anterior mesentery in a 76-year-old man. Two case reports exist in the literature describing extra-adrenal paragangliomas in the posterior mesentery.
		Only a handful of case reports describe primary solid tumors of the mesentery, predominantly including fibromatoses, followed by neurofibromas, teratomas, carcinoid tumors, germ cell tumors, and primary neoplasms composed of either smooth muscle, blood vessels, or fat.1,2 We report a case of solitary primary paraganglioma arising in the anterior small bowel mesentery.
		Computed tomographic scan of the abdomen/pelvis confirmed a mass in the anterior mesentery (Figure 1), which was aspirated and, based on cytologic features, thought to be consistent with a neuroendocrine tumor.
