Apical lymphadenectomy during low ligation of the IMA during rectosigmoid resection for cancer

Apical lymphadenectomy during low ligation of the IMA during rectosigmoid resection for cancer

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.
