Acute large bowel malignant obstruction of the splenic flexure: Fully robotic resection with central ligation and intracorporeal anastomosis - a video vignette Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for large bowel obstruction due to left-sided colonic malignancy is rarely reported, especially in the case of splenic flexure (SF) tumour [2-5] Indeed, MIS for SF malignancies is considered difficult due to its intrinsic anatomical complexity, especially when the tenets of adequate oncological resection such as complete mesocolic excision (CME) and central vascular ligation (CVL) are required [4,5]. Oncologic outcomes of self-expandable metallic stent as a bridge to surgery and safety and feasibility of minimally invasive surgery for acute malignant colonic obstruction.
