The use of a roadmap at surgery seems to even differences in operating time, EBL, and lymph node yield, independent of the complexity of the individual patient's central mesenteric vascular anatomy. The incidents of vascular events requiring hemostasis do not cause differences in EBL between the anatomy groups, suggesting that preoperative awareness of the anatomy is beneficial at surgery.
