A patient sustained traumatic injury to major abdominal vessels. It has been planned to explore the Suprarenal Aoa, the Celiac Axis, the Superior Mesenteric Aery, and the Left Renal Aery. Which maneuver is recommended for exposure of all these structures?
Correct Answer: Left Medial Visceral Rotation
Description: Since the patient in the question has sustained traumatic injury to major abdominal vessels, left medial visceral rotation would be the most appropriate maneuver to explore all the major abdominal vessels. In this technique, the entire length of abdominal aoa from the aoic hiatus to its bifurcation into the common iliac aeries is exposed.
