Article Abstract
A woman in the 60s. She was referred to our hospital because the fecal occult blood test was positive. Colonoscopy was performed. Cancer is found in the transverse colon. There were no metastases in the lungs and liver. Laparoscopic left hemicolectomy was performed. Histopathological examination was adenocarcinoma(tub1>tub2>muc), pT1b, pN2, ly2, v1, pPM0, pDM0, pRM0, budding(0, Grade 1), fStage Ⅲb. After postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy, she visited an outpatient clinic 8 months after surgery with a complaint of swelling of both inguinal lymph nodes. The swollen inguinal lymph node was relatively soft and there was no evidence of infection. A biopsy of the bilateral lymph nodes was performed. Histopathological examination revealed adenocarcinoma containing mucus components. These findings were consistent with histological findings in transverse colon cancer. Based on these results, we diagnosed metastatic recurrence from transverse colon cancer to both inguinal lymph nodes.

Introduction: There are no reports of patients undergoing McKeown esophagectomy for esophageal cancer after undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic cancer. We report the case of a patient who underwent subtotal esophagectomy and colon reconstruction after pancreaticoduodenectomy using the mesenteric approach.

Aims: To determine the optimal extent of lymph node dissection for non-metastatic colon cancer by tumor location based on the therapeutic value index (TVI) for each lymph node station.
Methods: Consecutive patients with surgical stage I-III colon or rectosigmoid cancer in the Japanese Society for Cancer of the Colon and Rectum database who underwent curative resection between January 2003 and December 2014 were analyzed. The TVI was defined as the incidence of lymph node metastasis multiplied by 5-year overall survival and calculated for each nodal station stratified by tumor location.

Introduction: High tie ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) is the standard technique in oncological low anterior rectal resection. However, high tie may reduce blood flow to the colon, impairing distal tissue perfusion, anastomotic healing, and potentially causing necrosis. Therefore, a modified high tie technique (MoHiTi) was developed that preserves the arterial arc from the left colic artery via the proximal IMA to the first sigmoidal branch.

IntroductionThis retrospective study compares the outcomes of right hemicolectomy (RHC) and extended right hemicolectomy (ERHC) in patients with hepatic flexure and proximal transverse colon tumors.MethodsData from 85 patients who underwent surgery for colonic adenocarcinoma between January 2015 and December 2023 were analyzed retrospectively. Patients who had hepatic flexure and proximal transverse colon tumors were included in the analysis.
