Background The ideal level of ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) during curative
resection of sigmoid colon and rectal cancer is still controversial. The aim of this meta …

Background Whether high or low ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) is superior in
surgery for rectal and sigmoid colon cancers remains controversial. Although several meta …

Purpose Whether indocyanine green fluorescence angiography (ICG-FA) during rectal
surgery is effective in reducing anastomotic leakage remains unclear. This study aimed to …

Purpose The aim of this meta-analysis was to compare high inferior mesenteric artery (IMA)
ligation (HL) with low IMA ligation (LL) for the treatment of colorectal cancer and to evaluate …

Laparoscopic radical resection is standard treatment for resectable rectal cancer. However,
whether high or low inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) ligation should be performed remains …

Aim Surgeons have concerns whether high ligation (HL) of the inferior mesenteric artery
(IMA) increases the incidence of anastomotic leakage (AL). This meta‐analysis aimed to …

Vascular approach during elective laparoscopic left colectomy impacts post-operative
outcomes. The aim of our study was to evaluate how different approaches impact positively …

Background In the treatment of distal sigmoid and rectal cancer, the appropriate level for the
ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) remains unresolved. High ligation divides the …
