This approach can be initiated by the division of either the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) or the inferior mesenteric vein (IMV). This cadaveric study aimed to establish the feasibility of IMV dissection as the initial landmark of medial\u2010to\u2010lateral left colonic mobilization for evaluating the size of the peritoneal window between the IMV at the lower part of the pancreas and the origin of the IMA (IMA\u2010IMV distance) and the point of origin of the IMA compared to the lower edge of the third part of the duodenum (IMA\u2010D3 distance). These distances were recorded on 30 fresh cadavers. The IMA\u2010D3 distance was 0.4 \u00b1 2.2 cm (mean \u00b1 SD). The IMA originated from the aorta at the level of or below the D3 in 21 cases (70%). The IMA\u2010IMV distance was 5.5 \u00b1 1.8 cm and was greater or equal to 5 cm (large window) in 21 cases (70%). IMA\u2010IMV distance was correlated with IMA\u2010D3 showing that a large window was inversely correlated with a low IMA origin (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001). IMA\u2010D3 distance was not correlated with weight, height and sex. IMA\u2010IMV distance was largerin male (6.7 \u00b1 0.9 vs. 4.9 \u00b1 1.8, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.001) and correlated with weight, (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic> = 0.60, 95%CI = 0.03\u20130.10, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001) and height (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic> = 0.54, 95%CI = 0.05\u20130.21, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.002). IMV can be used as the initial landmark for laparoscopic medial\u2010to\u2010lateral dissection in two\u2010thirds of cases. A too\u2010small window can require first IMA division. The choice between the two different medial\u2010to\u2010lateral approaches could be made by evaluating the anatomical relationship between IMA, IMV, and D3. Clin.
