Based on middle colic artery
Vessels to be ligated are dissected free
Arcades of the ileum
Terminal ileocolic artery
Right colic
Right branch of middle colic (may not be necessary)
Vessel clamps on arteries to test perfusion - conduit now running only on left branch of middle colic, and marginal artery. If pulsation felt in marginal artery at caecum and no colour change, it's ok to use.
Used when the length of colon required is not very long, although sometimes still enough to reach up to neck
Based on middle colic
Dissect and ligate vessels
Ascending branch of right colic
Right branch of middle colic
Based on left colic artery
Could be considered as an extended transverse colon preparation
Dissect out
Proximal part of colon and its marginal artery (depends on length required where this is - ascending, proximal transverse or mid-transverse)
Ligate middle colic if using up to proximal transverse
The colon up to convenient point in descending colon
Possibly marginal artery at the point of distal colonic division
