Apical lymphadenectomy during low ligation of the IMA during rectosigmoid resection for cancer [PDF]
Background: Low ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery with preservation of the left colic artery may decrease the risk of colorectal anastomotic ischemia compared to high ligation at its origin.

Clinical impact of inferior mesenteric vein preservation during left hemicolectomy with low ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery for distal transverse and descending colon cancers: A comparative study based on computed tomography [PDF]
PurposePresence of a long remnant sigmoid colon after left hemicolectomy with inferior mesenteric vein (IMV) ligation for distal transverse and descending colon cancers may be a risk factor for venous ischemia.
