Anatomy of the Intestines

Anatomy of the Intestines

Although digestion of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids may begin in the stomach, it is completed in the intestine. The absorption of nutrients, water, and electrolytes from food and drink also occurs in the intestine. The intestines can be divided into two structurally distinct organs—the small and large intestines.
Small Intestines
The small intestine is an ~7 meter-long tube with an inner diameter of just 2.5 cm. Since most nutrients are absorbed here, the inner lining of the...

Area of Science:

Gastroenterology
Pediatric Surgery
Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

Ileocecal intussusception is a surgical emergency requiring prompt diagnosis and intervention.
Accurate differentiation from other abdominal pathologies is crucial for appropriate patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the treatment approach for patients diagnosed with ileocecal intussusception.
To highlight the role of diagnostic imaging and surgical techniques in managing this condition.

Main Methods:

A retrospective review of three patients with ileocecal intussusception treated between June 2016 and August 2017.
Diagnostic modalities included abdominal sonography and contrast-enhanced irrigography.
Surgical intervention involved a minimally invasive laparoscopic approach.

Main Results:

Abdominal sonography served as the primary diagnostic tool.
Contrast-enhanced irrigography provided further detailed information for diagnosis.
Laparoscopic surgery was successfully employed for both diagnosis and treatment in all cases.

Conclusions:

Abdominal sonography is the main diagnostic method for intestinal intussusception.
Contrast-enhanced irrigography offers valuable supplementary information.
Minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery is an effective approach for the diagnosis and treatment of ileocecal intussusception.
