Surgical resection of splenic flexure cancers (SFCs) is technically demanding due to the complex regional anatomy, characterized by the presence of embryological adhesions, close proximity to the pancreas and spleen, and a highly heterogeneous arterial supply and lymphatic drainage. The accessory middle colic artery (AMCA) is increasingly being recognized as an important source of blood supply to the splenic flexure. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence and anatomical features of the AMCA.
