Abstract

D3 lymphadenectomy and complete mesocolon excision (CME) have been shown to provide superior oncological outcomes and better survival advantages in patients with right colon cancer stages II-III1, 2 .However, this procedure is technically challenging and could carry the risk of major complications3 . Furthermore, there is a variety of vascular anatomical variants that can make this type of surgery even more difficult4,5 . Hence the importance of presenting this video where we emphasize the importance of preoperative 3D vascular reconstruction, which helps us to identify the relationships between the tumour and the adjacent structures to identify the vascular supply and its anatomical variations, so it can serve as a guide during surgery, thus improving safety during complex right colectomy with D3 lymphadenectomy.
