Cattell Maneuver 2z721n

Cattell maneuver Reflection of right colon and small bowel anteriorly and medially to expose inferior vena cava, right renal vessels, 4th part of duodenum, aorta, and uncinate of pancreas; performed by dividing along white line of Toldt lateral to cecum and ascending colon. Procedure should be performed in all zone 1 (centromedial), traumatic injuries. Cattell-Braasch manoeuvre The right-sided equivalent of the Mattox manoeuvre, i.e. medial visceral rotation of the right-sided organs to bring them into the midline. It can be regarded as an extension of a Kocher's manoeuvre; where as a Kocher's lifts the duodenum off the retroperitoneum, in a Cattell-Brasch manoeuvre, dissection is continued down the right-sided white line of Toldt and then across the small bowel mesenteric root.
