    The experience of The Middlesex Hospital in the investigation and management of chronic intestinal arterial occlusion (IAO) over a 20 year period is presented. Of some 100 patients referred only 28 were found to have IAO and these were critically evaluated in terms of insorptive and exsorptive function. No relation was found between intestinal performance and the degree of potential ischaemia suggested by angiography. Twenty two patients underwent reconstruction of the coeliac axis and mesenteric arteries, with three perioperative deaths. The remainder were followed for periods ranging between six months and 10 years. Of these, 15 are asymptomatic, one is unchanged, and one is subjectively worse. The role of elective surgery in relation to the visceral arteries is critically discussed in the light of these results, and in the perspective of the world experience.

    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...

    Blood Supply to the Digestive System

    Splanchnic circulation refers to the network of blood vessels that supply and drain blood from the abdominal organs involved in digestion, including the stomach, liver, pancreas, intestines, and spleen. This circulation delivers essential nutrients and oxygen while removing waste products from these organs.
    Blood Supply to the Digestive System: The splanchnic circulation involves three main arteries: the celiac artery (also known as the celiac trunk) and the superior and inferior mesenteric...

    Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management

    Surgical interventions for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are essential in managing symptoms and addressing complications. The selection of surgical procedures is contingent upon the specific conditions and complications that stem from these illnesses.
    Here are some common surgical interventions for IBD:
