Although the renal arteries usually originate from the aorta, cranial to the renal veins, their anatomical course varies from person to person, and sometimes, the renal arteries are located within the para-aortic dissection area. Case Presentation: We present a case of endometrial cancer involving three left renal arteries, two of which were located caudal to the renal vein. Preoperative three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction accurately depicted the vascular variation and provided precise measurements from the origin of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) to the accessory arteries. During surgery, the IMA was used as a landmark to identify and preserve renal arteries during para-aortic lymph node dissection. Conclusion: This case demonstrates the practical advantages of preoperative 3D imaging in visualizing complex retroperitoneal vascular variation, ensuring surgical safety, and enhancing anatomical understanding in gynecologic oncology.  \n© 2025 The Author(s) .  \nPublished by S.

In addition to conventional two-dimensional imaging using computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), 3D imaging makes it possible to grasp the course of blood vessels and tissues more accurately before and during surgery. The use of 3D imaging in preparation for surgery is common practice in many surgical fields. Using 3D imaging in cases, such as determining the extent of resection during lung or advanced colorectal cancer surgery, or the placement of implants during total hip arthroplasty, significantly reduced intraoperative blood loss and complications compared to cases in which 3D imaging was not used [1–4] .  \nIn gynecological surgery, the presence of significant individual variations in the renal vessels necessitates caution during para-aortic lymph node dissection. Moreover, the risk of vascular injury depends to some extent on the course of the vessels. The existence of aberrant renal arteries, particularly those located caudal to the renal vein, may lead to vascular injury, renal infarction, and impaired renal function [5–7] . However, the value of using 3D imaging for assessing such variations in gynecological surgery remains unknown.  \nHerein, we present a case of en","cbCair0FeUUoLbvR","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCair0FeUUoLbvR","pdf",2223152,"English","# Introduction\n## Case Presentation\n## Conclusion","[{\"question\":\"What role did the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) play during the operation?\",\"answer\":\"The surgical team used the IMA as an intraoperative landmark to identify and preserve renal arteries during para-aortic lymph node dissection, aiming for safe dissection within the planned area.\"}]","Three-Dimensional Imaging-Guided Safe Para-Aortic Lymph Node Dissection Using the Inferior Mesenteric Artery as an Intraoperative Landmark | PDF",1790746458,15]
