Oncologic safety of transverse colon cancer surgery without central vessel ligation of middle colic artery.
In Jun YangSeung-Hwan YoonJi Yeon KimKyung-Ha LeePublished in: Surgical endoscopy (2024)
TCC surgery without CVL of the MCA showed comparable surgical and oncologic outcomes compared to surgery with CVL. Therefore, preservation of a branch of the MCA may be considered a safe option, when combined with adequate lymph node dissection, if necessary. A large, prospective, and controlled study will be necessary to provide solid evidence of the oncologic safety of this procedure.
