Objectives The objective of this study is to analyze the main patterns of branching of the
inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) and to determine if your knowledge changes the surgical …

Background. The inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) is a blood vessel of great importance in left
colon and rectal cancer surgery. We aimed to determine the role of surgeons in computed …

Background: In some individuals, the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) originates from the
aorta above the lower edge of the duodenum. This anatomical feature has rarely been …

Objective To demonstrate the clinical applicability of 3-dimensional CT angiography (3D-
CTA) in evaluating the anatomic variations of inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) and left colic …

Purpose In the present study, we focused on the accessory middle colic artery and aimed to
increase the safety and curative value of colorectal cancer surgery by investigating the artery …

Aim Curative surgery is the standard treatment for colorectal cancer. The ligation level of the
inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) is still debated, as neither low tie (LT) nor high tie ligation …

During laparoscopic surgery, vascular arrangements and variations can be misidentified
and injured because of the lack of tactile sensation and narrowed view, resulting in …

Background/Aim: From an oncological perspective, central ligation of the feeding vessel is
an important approach to consider when performing colon cancer surgery. This study aimed …

BACKGROUND: The branching of the inferior mesenteric artery and vein varies among
individuals. Three-dimensional CT angiography is a less invasive modality than traditional …

Purpose The requisite for a rigorous preoperative understanding of vascular branching
continues to grow in parallel with the implementation of laparoscopic surgery. Three …
