Concept of Complete Mesocolic Excision and the Role of Computed Tomography Imaging. Academic Article uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • Complete mesocolic excision (CME) with central vascular ligation (CVL) has gained traction in recent years as an effective advanced surgical technique for surgical treatment of colon cancer. In this review, the concept of CME is described, along with relevant variant vascular anatomy and local staging implications for radiologists. Future directions in research are also explored, with a focus on correlation between radiology and pathology.
