Evidence from randomised clinical trials suggests that adjuvant cytotoxic liver perfusion with 5-fluorouracil following resection of colorectal carcinoma may improve survival in some patients. Various methods of cannulating the portal vein or a tributary at the time of surgery have been described. We describe a simple method of accessing the portal venous circulation via a tributary in the small bowel mesentery, employing a new type of polyurethane catheter. The technical details are discussed with reference to previous literature.
