Περίληψη:
Complete mesocolic excision (CME) is a standardized surgical procedure
for colonic cancer that requires ample knowledge of the anatomical
patterns of the colic arteries. Variations of the colic vessels encumber
both surgical and endovascular techniques. In the presented case below,
the right colic artery was incidentally detected emerging from the right
gastroepiploic artery, during CME. Surgeons should be always aware of
this variation in order to perform safe abdominal surgeries and
sufficient resection of the regional lymph nodes with a view to
minimizing the probability of recurrence of disease when encountering
colonic cancer.
