[Control over the function of the anastomosed segments of the digestive tract]
Abstract:
One of the most effective methods of prophylactics of incompetence of anastomoses sutures is the intraoperative registration of bioelectrical activity of the connected segments of the digestive tract when performing operations on the stomach and esophagus. The implanted electrodes allow analysis of the action potential fluctuation during the postoperative period followed by the corresponding conclusions about the state of blood circulation in hollow organs. The effectiveness and adequacy of management of the patients after the interventions is estimated by means of rheography of the intestine wall. The proposed program of controlling the state of proximal segments of the digestive tract gave good results in 42 patients after total and partial gastrectomies.

Large Intestine
The ileocecal sphincter, a mucous membrane fold, guards the opening from the ileum to the large intestine. This valve permits material from the small intestine to pass into the large intestine. Attached to the ileocecal valve is the cecum. This small pouch, approximately 6 cm long, has a twisted, coiled tube known as...
