Total laparoscopic right colectomy: The duodenal window first approach
No full textBackground Total laparoscopic right colectomy (TLRC) is a demanding procedure requiring laparoscopic skills and expertise in surgical oncology. Identifying the correct plane of dissection may be difficult. A correct management of ileocecal and right colic vascular pedicles is pivotal to achieve an oncological resection and the adequate blood supply of ileal and colic stumps. Methods We describe a technique for TLRC with a duodenum-first approach. Using three ports, dividing the "duodenal window", ileocecal and right colic vascular pedicles, and the right ureter are easily identified. The procedure is completed with an intracorporal stapled side-by-side anastomosis. Results In 2014, 19 patients underwent TLRC using this technique. The median operative time was 178 min (132-237 min) and median intraoperative blood loss reached 60 mL (10-400). Conversion rate was 15.8%. No urinary tract, vascular, duodenal injury or anastomotic fistula were reported. Fifteen patients (79%) underwent a colectomy for cancer with a median of 16 (7-27) harvested lymph-nodes and 100% of R0-resection. Minor morbidity (Clavien-Dindo I-II) was 52.6% mainly related to cardiopulmonary complications (26.3%). Severe morbidity (Clavien-Dindo ≥ III) was 10.5% (two patients), including one reoperation (due to a sepsis related to an intra-abdominal abscess) and one death (due to complications of an aortic aneurism). Median hospital stay was 7 days (2-23 days). Long-term outcomes are unremarkable. Conclusions Using three trocars, the "duodenal window" approach to TLRC is technically feasible and safe, with good outcomes. The early access to the duodenum and the exposure of ilea-cecal and right colic pedicles rationalizes the procedure

« Face chevaline » et « tête d’échassier » : la caricature anthropozoomorphe dans l’œuvre de Claude Simon
No full textDe nombreux personnages simoniens sont décrits selon des procédés de déconstruction largement employés dans la caricature : la distorsion des traits de leur visage et leur disproportion anatomique les dotent de caractéristiques physiques animales et les métamorphosent en figures hybrides. Pour autant, le caractère satirique de la caricature animalière réalisée dans les descriptions simoniennes pose question, dans la mesure où l’auteur revendique de ne pas être un moraliste. L’article se propose ainsi d’interroger l’influence de la caricature anthropozoomorphe du xixe siècle sur l’écriture de Claude Simon, à la fois dans ses dimensions esthétique et éthique, entre effet de collage, satire sceptique et figures grotesques.Many Claude Simon’s characters are described with deconstructive processes widely used in caricature. The distortion of their facial features and their anatomical disproportion endow them with animal characteristics and metamorphose them into hybrid figures. However, Claude Simon’s animal caricatures are not necessarily of a satirical nature, since the author claims not to be a moralist. This article explores the question of the influence of anthropozoomorphic nineteenth-century caricature on Claude Simon’s writing both in its aesthetic and ethical dimensions, between collage effect, sceptical satire and grotesque figures

Claude Simon, un écrivain « romanesque » ? Figures et postures de l’auteur dans l’œuvre, dans la théorie et dans les médias
No full textDans les romans de Claude Simon, les représentations de la figure de l’auteur constituent autant d’avatars, de modèles ou contremodèles possibles. Dans ses écrits théoriques et ses interventions médiatiques, Simon a également construit une théorie de l’auteur qui fait écho à ces figures fictives. Cet ensemble transversal et cohérent finit par générer une image de Claude Simon lui-même et de la conception simonienne du romancier, dans un jeu romanesque entre vie et œuvre, entre fictif et biographique.In Claude Simon’s novels, the representations of the figures of the author are made of so many avatars, models or counter-models. In his theoretical essays and his media activities, Simon has also built a theory of the author which echoes these fictional figures. This coherent and transversal whole builds up a picture of Simon himself and also gives a picture of the conception of Simon as a novelist, setting a novelistic game closely intertwined between life and the work and between fictional and biographical
Corps de l’écrivain et érotisme littéraire chez Claude Simon
No full textDe Triptyque (1973) au Jardin des Plantes (1997), l’écriture de Claude Simon a connu d’importantes évolutions. Cet article le montre en étudiant ce qui a trait au corps dans ces deux romans. Le corps est en effet un analyseur méconnu de la poétique simonienne et de ses mutations au fil de l’œuvre. La lecture des deux romans donne à voir que le corps de l’écrivain en tant que tel est porté par une exigence d’autonomie scripturale toujours plus forte, qui fait de l’écriture la matière même d’un engagement spécifiquement littéraire. Dans Le Jardin des Plantes, cet engagement anime l’écrivain à telle enseigne qu’il le porte à relever le défi d’un érotisme littéraire dont il est non seulement l’auteur, mais l’acteur.From Triptyque (1973) to Le Jardin des Plantes (1997), Claude Simon’s writing underwent major changes. This paper aims to show this by focusing on everything related to the body in these two novels. The body turns out to be an underestimated factor in analysing Simon’s poetical devices throughout his work. The two mentioned novels allow to see that the writer’s body as such is constantly sustained by an ever increasing demand for its autonomy, which turns Simon’s writing into the very matter of a specifically literary commitment. In Le Jardin des Plantes, this commitment impels the novelist to the extent it leads him to address the challenge of a literary eroticism, in which he is involved not only as an author, but as an actor
