VFA is a more useful parameter than BMI in predicting surgical outcomes after LAC.

The findings of the lymph flow pattern of splenic flexure suggest that lymph node dissection at the root of the IMV area is important, and it may be not necessary to ligate both the lt-MCA and LCA, at least in cases without widespread lymph node metastases.

This study proves that cases without the anastomosis of the marginal artery of the rectosigmoid junction truly exist, using studies in living humans (UMIN000011186).

Intraoperative real-time visualization of the lymph flow using indocyanine green fluorescence imaging during laparoscopic colon cancer surgery, especially flexural colon cancer surgery, is feasible and a helpful technique for identifying appropriate central vessels to be dissected and for determining an appropriate separation line of the mesentery.
