| Abstract |
The Deloyers procedure, which includes inversion of the right colon around the axis of the ileocolic vessels, can be used to achieve a well vascularized, tension-free colorectal anastomosis after extended left colectomy. The aim of this study is to report our technique and outcome in a series of ten consecutive patients who underwent right colonic transposition by laparoscopic approach. Charts were retrospectively reviewed to analyze postoperative outcome and bowel function. A video was recorded to demonstrate the procedure. Conversion was required in one (10%) patient due to extensive adhesions. No intraoperative complications were recorded. Anastomotic leakage occurred in one (10%) case and was managed with peritoneal lavage and ileostomy. Six months after surgery, all patients reported a median number of 2.5 (range 2-3) bowel movements per day with solid stool consistency. Neither anastomotic stricture nor bowel ischemia was found at 1-year endoscopic follow-up. Our experience shows that laparoscopic right colonic transposition is a safe and feasible procedure and provides good functional outcomes. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 19. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 June 2017.
All research outputs
#1,763,800
of 23,577,761 outputs
Outputs from Techniques in Coloproctology
#173
of 1,297 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#37,328
of 423,167 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Techniques in Coloproctology
#7
of 27 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,577,761 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 92nd percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,297 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.5. This one has done well, scoring higher than 86% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 423,167 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 91% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 27 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 74% of its contemporaries.
