Core Tip There are several studies in current literature discussing the optimal surgical approach for splenic flexure malignancies. However, these studies are mainly retrospective and performed in single centers. The variability in the vascular and lymphatic anatomy of the splenic flexure coupled with the lack of international standardization in the terminology for oncologic resections makes management challenging. This article reviews the various management strategies in the literature and examines the evidence supporting various surgical approaches to splenic flexure malignancies.
