Variation of the ileocolic artery and superior mesenteric artery in a patient with right-sided colon cancer with Lynch syndrome: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Complete mesangectomy and central vascular detachment are the core elements of laparoscopic right hemicolectomy. Failure to identify vascular variations in patients undergoing laparoscopic right hemicolectomy can result in unwanted bleeding, a prolonged surgical time, transfer to open surgery, and an elevated risk of postoperative complications. In this case report, we describe a new vascular variation that has not yet been reported in the literature. Parallelly vascular variation and the management of vessels in key areas are essential for successful surgery.

Case description

The patient was a 32-year-old female who was referred to the department of gastrointestinal surgery of our hospital due to intermittent abdominal pain accompanied by changes in stool habits
