We present the case of a patient with transverse colon cancer who underwent laparoscopic surgery after preoperative assessment using a combination of endoscopic clipping and three-dimensional computed tomography angiography (3DCTA). A 68-year-old man was diagnosed with transverse colon cancer, and laparoscopic surgery has been planned. 3DCTA showed right-middle and left-middle colic arteries arising independently from the superior mesenteric artery. The relationship between the clip and vessels showed that the right-middle colic artery was the feeding artery of the tumor. Operative findings were consistent with 3DCTA findings, and transverse colectomy with lymph node dissection was successfully performed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.9738\/intsurg-d-13-00232.1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,2,18]],"date-time":"2015-02-18T21:49:28Z","timestamp":1424296168000},"page":"208-212","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Preoperative Assessment of Vascular Anatomy by Multidetector Computed Tomography Before Laparoscopic Colectomy for Transverse Colon Cancer: Report of a Case"],"prefix":"10.9738","volume":"100","author":[{"given":"Aya","family":"Kawamoto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastrointestinal and Pediatric Surgery, Division of Reparative Medicine, Institute of Life Sciences, Mie University Graduate School of Medicine, Mie, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yasuhiro","family":"Inoue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastrointestinal and Pediatric Surgery, Division of Reparative Medicine, Institute of Life Sciences, Mie University Graduate School of Medicine, Mie, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Masato","family":"Okigami","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastrointestinal and Pediatric Surgery, Division of Reparative Medicine, Institute of Life Sciences, Mie University Graduate School of Medicine, Mie, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hiromi","family":"Yasuda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastrointestinal and Pediatric Surgery, Division of Reparative Medicine, Institute of Life Sciences, Mie University Graduate School of Medicine, Mie, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yoshinaga","family":"Okugawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastrointestinal and Pediatric Surgery, Division of Reparative Medicine, Institute of Life Sciences, Mie University Graduate School of Medicine, Mie, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Junichiro","family":"Hiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastrointestinal and Pediatric Surgery, Division of Reparative Medicine, Institute of Life Sciences, Mie University Graduate School of Medicine, Mie, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuji","family":"Toiyama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastrointestinal and Pediatric Surgery, Division of Reparative Medicine, Institute of Life Sciences, Mie University Graduate School of Medicine, Mie, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Koji","family":"Tanaka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastrointestinal and Pediatric Surgery, Division of Reparative Medicine, Institute of Life Sciences, Mie University Graduate School of Medicine, Mie, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Keiichi","family":"Uchida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastrointestinal and Pediatric Surgery, Division of Reparative Medicine, Institute of Life Sciences, Mie University Graduate School of Medicine, Mie, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yasuhiko","family":"Mohri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastrointestinal and Pediatric Surgery, Division of Reparative Medicine, Institute of Life Sciences, Mie University Graduate School of Medicine, Mie, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Masato","family":"Kusunoki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastrointestinal and Pediatric Surgery, Division of Reparative Medicine, Institute of Life Sciences, Mie University Graduate School of Medicine, Mie, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"4721","reference":[{"issue":"20","key":"i0020-8868-100-2-208-b01","series-title":"N Engl J Med","first-page":"2050","article-title":"A comparison of laparoscopically assisted and open colectomy for colon cancer","volume":"350","year":"2004","unstructured":"Clinical Outcomes of Surgical Therapy Study Group.
