The boundaries of the D3 area (green area) and the frequency of presence for the ileocolic artery (ICA), right colic artery (RCA), and middle colic artery (MCA). It can be observed the ICA and RCA crossing lengths, and the pooled distance between the ICA to RCA origin distance [Figure reproduced from (20), CC BY license].

Figure 2
The proposed standardized terminology for Henle trunk surgical anatomy. ASPDV, anterosuperior pancreaticoduodenal vein; RGEV, right gastroepiploic vein; RCV, right colic vein; SRCV, superior right colic vein. To proposed a common terminology for Henle trunk, we grouped all the anatomical variants with a pooled prevalence less than 5.0% in the ‘other’ group of ‘Type VI’. Should be noted that Type I has the highest pooled prevalence, and the Type V the lowest [Figure reproduced from (20), CC BY license].
