title: [Applied anatomy of the vascularity in the ileocolic region and its clinical significance].
abstract: To understand the characteristics of the patterns of arteries and veins distributed over the ileocolic segment, 50 cadavers were studied by gross-anatomy. The arteries, veins and their paracolic anastomoses distributed over ileocecal region, ascending colon and transverse colon were observed. The results showed that the distribution pattern of venous vessel was far more constant than that of artery, that the arrangements of artery in the ileocolic segment were classified into 7 types, and there were no interruption of paracolic anastomoses between arteries. But in 3 specimens the paracolic anastemoses between the right colic vein and the middle colic vein were completely interrupted. These findings may be useful in guiding clinical practice and preventing postoperative complications in ileocolic replacement of esophagus.
