GARCIA GUTIERREZ, Alejandro. Maniobra de movilización del pedículo mesentérico superior. Rev Cubana Cir [online]. 2003, vol.42, n.4, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-2945.

A bibliographic investigation was made aimed at updating the anatomicoembriological base and the objectives of the mobilizing maneuver of the superior mesenteric pedicle in general surgery and at determining the priority in its creation, based on the analysis of the original papers referring to this maneuver. It was concluded that the priority in its use corresponded to the Russian authors Petrov and Koundadzé, who used it to enlarge the portion of the intestine utilized in the esophagoplasties, whereas the US authors Cattell and Broasch performed it to improve the access to the 3rd and 4th portions of the duodenum and to the duodeno-jejunal angle, 10 years later
