3D relations between right colon arteries and the superior mesenteric vein: a preliminary study with multidetector computed tomography

Abstract: RCA occurs in 54% patients, passes over the SMV in 92.6% specimens and leaves a 22.7 mm stump. ICA passes under the SMV in most cases, leaving a 15.4 mm stump. These data could be of crucial importance to the surgeon facing laparoscopic right colectomy for cancer.

“…Perhaps the discrepancy between our experience and that of Spasojevic et al [1] is partly a matter of definition. We and others have observed, for example, that the middle colic artery has many variations.…”

“…As correctly observed by Spasojevic et al [1], the right mesocolon is not clearly defined at its medial aspect. When a complete mesocolic excision for right-sided colon cancer is performed, the fascia on both sides of the mesocolon, including the contained ileocolic artery (and the right colic artery when present) must be actively divided in a plane parallel to the mesenteric root.…”

“…The ileocolic artery often passes posteriorly to the superior mesocolic vein [22][23][24], which theoretically should result in a longer residual stump as a central tie is more difficult to achieve and surgeons often choose to divide the vessel after the crossing of the vein. In our series, the ileocolic artery passed posterior to the superior mesocolic vein in 69% of cases but surprisingly did not result in a longer stump length probably because the superior mesocolic vein was never exposed.…”

“…It is our opinion that the use of CT angiography with 3D reconstruction can facilitate the diagnosis, even more so, since it is noninvasive and can be derived from the same data set (CT). Data have also been provided showing that multidetector CT (MDCT) angiography can demonstrate 3D anatomical relationships of visceral vessels (15,16).…”
