pubmed:abstractText
Curative resection of sigmoid and rectal cancer includes "high tie" of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA). However, IMA ligation compromises blood flow to the anastomosis, which may increase the leakage rate. Accordingly, some surgeons employ a technique of lymph node (LN) dissection around the IMA, preserving the IMA and left colic artery (LCA). The same technique was reported to need longer time in laparoscopic surgery due to technical difficulties. We present herein a simple and secure method of laparoscopic LN dissection around the IMA that allows preservation of the IMA and LCA, and report the operative results.
