Intraoperative visualization of lymphatic flow along the ileocolic artery using ICG fluorescence imaging and its implications for right-sided colon cancer surgery
This study measured the distance between the ICA and the lymphatic flow that ran caudal to the artery, and found a distance of up to approximately 2 cm. These findings may serve as a useful anatomical reference for determining a safe and appropriate mesenteric dissection line in right-sided colon cancer surgery.
