The root of the inferior mesenteric artery is an important area where autonomic nerves are close by, the dissection can be hard and laborious in order to avoid nerve damage; and the separation of mesocolon and retroperitoneum in this area can sometimes be difficult. The inferior mesenteric vein dissection is an alternative option as the first step during medial to lateral approach of laparoscopic left mesocolon mobilisation, as we have shown in this video based on two real cases and two anatomical cadaveric dissection.
