The mesenteric interarterial stair with resection line from the inferior mesenteric artery origin to the middle colic artery origin following the inferior mesenteric vein to the caudal border of pancreas, turning towards the patient’s right Lymph nodes are numbered according to the Japanese Classification. The dashed line indicates the resection line. Distance A is the lateral distance in the transverse plane, and distance B is the longitudinal height parallel to the aorta. ALCA, ascending left colic artery; aMCA, accessory middle colic artery; DLCA, descending left colic artery; ICA, ileocolic artery; ICV, ileocolic vein; IMA, inferior mesenteric artery; IMV, inferior mesenteric vein; LCA, left colic artery; MCA, middle colic artery; SMA, superior mesenteric artery; SMV, superior mesenteric vein.
