Abstract: Two principal branches from the aorta provide the colonic blood supply: the superior and inferior mesenteric arteries. There are numerous anatomical variations, which the surgeon must fully understand before embarking on any colonic surgery. A good knowledge of these variations is particularly important when the patient has already undergone colectomy or presents with occlusive vascular disease. The aim of this review is to summarize the standard anatomy and the main variations of the colonic blood supply as they apply to colorectal surgery in this setting.<br /> (Copyright © 2016.
