Systematic study of the mesentery is now possible because of clarification of its structure.
Although this area of science is in an early phase, important advances have already been …

Aim Dissection with subsequent ligation and resection of arteries at their origin (central
vascular ligation) is essential for adequate oncological resection during right hemicolectomy …

Introduction: Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) usually arises from the abdominal aorta, just
below the celiac trunk and it supplies the midgut-derived embryonic structures. Anatomical …

Background Complete mesocolic excision for right-sided colon cancer may offer an
oncologically superior excision compared to traditional right hemicolectomy through high …

Background: Vascular anatomy of the ascending colon is more complex and variable as
compared to the left. Variations range from the mode of origin, branching to territorial supply …

The aim of this study was to characterize the branching pattern and morphology of the
superior mesenteric artery (SMA), and also to create a new SMA classification, which seems …

INTRODUCTION Hemicolectomies are not tailored in right-sided colon cancer resections,
despite significant variation in the incidence and origin of the right colic artery (RCA). Early …

This chapter discusses the branches of the abdominal aorta, including ventral branches,
lateral branches, dorsal branches, and terminal branches. The superior mesenteric artery …

Variations in the branching patterns of the celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery occur
frequently. Detailed knowledge of anatomical variations of the abdominal arterial supply is …

Dr Neale and colleagues described an interesting case with two so-called anatomical
variations. However, the absence of the ileocolic branch might be caused by developmental …
