AB  - Several  important  anatomic  facts  influence  the  technique  of  surgery  in  the  large  intestine.  As  a  consequence  of  its  embryologic  development,  the  colon  has  two  main  sources  of  blood  supply.  The  cecum,  ascending  colon,  and  proximal  portion  of  the  transverse  colon  are  supplied  with  blood  from  the  superior  mesenteric  artery,  whereas  the  distal  transverse  colon,  splenic  flexure,  descending  colon,  sigmoid,  and  upper  rectum  are  supplied  by  branches  of  the  inferior  mesenteric  artery  (see  Chapter  9  for  identification  of  the  blood  supply).
