Abstract:
With the increasing standardization of right colon cancer radical resection, more emphasis is put on keeping the mesentery intact along with vascular root ligation and extensive lymph nodes dissection which inevitably demands higher level of surveillance on the possible complications especially around gastrocolic trunk with large variation of tributary and complex vascular course, to achieve a successful surgical and oncological outcome. This article discusses the complex anatomy of the gastrocolic trunk and its implication in the choice of surgical approaches.
