Total mesorectal excision, artwork C016 / 6996

Total mesorectal excision (TME). Artwork of the pelvis and the area of the colon and rectum that is removed in total mesorectal excision, a surgical technique used in the treatment of colorectal cancer. The rectum and part of the colon are at lower centre, with a malignant tumour shown at left on the wall of the bowel. TME is one of the most effective treatments for this cancer. Also shown are the bones of the pelvis, nerves (yellow) and arteries (red) and veins (blue). The large abdominal vein (inferior vena cava) and artery (descending aorta, red) branch within the pelvis to form the iliac arteries and veins

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Total mesorectal excision" offers a detailed visual representation of the surgical technique used in treating colorectal cancer. The print showcases the pelvis and highlights the specific area of the colon and rectum that is removed during this procedure. At the lower center, we can observe the rectum and part of the colon, with a malignant tumor prominently displayed on the bowel wall. Total mesorectal excision (TME) stands as one of the most effective treatments for colorectal cancer, making this illustration an invaluable resource for medical professionals and patients alike. In addition to depicting key anatomical structures such as bones, nerves (yellow), arteries (red), and veins (blue), it also emphasizes vital blood vessels like the large abdominal vein (inferior vena cava) and artery (descending aorta). The intricate network of neural pathways, arterial branches forming iliac arteries and veins within the pelvis are meticulously portrayed here. This comprehensive visualization serves to educate viewers about both healthy anatomy and pathological conditions associated with colorectal cancer. Created by D & L GRAPHICS / SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this artwork provides essential insights into total mesorectal excision while showcasing their expertise in medical illustrations.
