Middle ligation (ML) of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) maintains adequate blood supply to an anastomosis and has no risk of autonomic nerve injury. If apical node dissection of the IMA improves the prognosis, ML and prophylactic dissection of the apical node without division of the IMA above the colic artery may also result in an additional prognostic improvement in patients with sigmoid colon or rectal cancer.
