From the review of the literature and clinical data, it is clear that the anatomy of the vessels of the right colon is remarkably variable, especially those of Henle branch. This justifies why the laparoscopic colectomy (LRC) plus complete mesocolon excision (CME) is often difficult to perform with the conversion rate due to the lesion of the vessels. The objective of this study was to retrospectively review the videos and literature of the right laparoscopic colectomy plus CME to highlight the greatest number of vascular variations of the right colon, to record them, and to highlight the methods by which cope with these variations during surgery.
