Small Intestines of the Horse SMALL INTESTINES OF THE HORSE Duodenum: The cranial part of the duodenum is in contact with the visceral surface of the liver. It forms the sigmoid flexure and a dilatation (ampulla). The first curve of the sigmoid flexure is convex dorsally and the second curve is convex ventrally. The second curve of the sigmoid flexure is the cranial flexure where the body of the pancreas is attached. The major pancreatic duct and the bile duct open in this area at the major duodenal papilla inside the hepatopancreatic ampulla . The accessory pancreatic duct opens at the minor duodenal papilla opposite to the major duodenal papilla. The descending duodenum runs caudally between the visceral surface of the liver and the right dorsal colon. At the caudal pole of the right kidney it turns medially around the base of the cecum and the root of the mesentery to form the caudal flexure. The short ascending duodenum runs cranially and to the left. It is continued by the jejunum following the duodenojejunal flexure . Jejunum: Lies chiefly in the left dorsal part of the abdomen together with the small colon. It is attached to the dorsal abdominal wall by the long mesojejunum that allows great mobility of the bowel . This mobility may result in intestinal colic, due to volvulus, intussusception, or incarceration of the duodenal loops in the epiploic foramen or the vaginal ring. Ileum: Passes dorsally toward the lesser curvature of the base of the cecum, where it is partly telescoped into the the cecum so that the ileal orifice is surrounded by a fold of mucous membrane. .

Received: 27 March 2020; Accepted: 25 May 2020; Published: 28 May 2020 Abstract: Background: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has been one of the most intensely studied endoscopic procedures due to its overall high complication rates when compared to other digestive endoscopy procedures. The safety and outcome of such procedures have been linked to multiple procedure- or patient-related risk factors. The aim of our study is to evaluate whether the morphology of the major duodenal papilla influences the ERCP outcomes and complication rates. Methods: A total of 322 patients with a native papilla have been included in the study over an eight month period.

  • Sporadic (Nonhereditary) Colorectal Cancer: Introduction
    Sporadic (Nonhereditary) Colorectal Cancer: Introduction Colorectal cancer affects about 5% of the population, with up to 150,000 new cases per year in the United States alone. Cancer of the large intestine accounts for 21% of all cancers in the US, ranking second only to lung cancer in mortality in both males and females. It is, however, one of the most potentially curable of gastrointestinal cancers. Colorectal cancer is detected through screening procedures or when the patient presents with symptoms. Screening is vital to prevention and should be a part of routine care for adults over the age of 50 who are at average risk. High-risk individuals (those with previous colon cancer , family history of colon cancer , inflammatory bowel disease, or history of colorectal polyps) require careful follow-up. There is great variability in the worldwide incidence and mortality rates. Industrialized nations appear to have the greatest risk while most developing nations have lower rates. Unfortunately, this incidence is on the increase. North America, Western Europe, Australia and New Zealand have high rates for colorectal neoplasms (Figure 2). Figure 1. Location of the colon in the body. Figure 2. Geographic distribution of sporadic colon cancer . Symptoms Colorectal cancer does not usually produce symptoms early in the disease process. Symptoms are dependent upon the site of the primary tumor. Cancers of the proximal colon tend to grow larger than those of the left colon and rectum before they produce symptoms. Abnormal vasculature and trauma from the fecal stream may result in bleeding as the tumor expands in the intestinal lumen.

  • Short Bowel Syndrome with Intestinal Failure Were Randomized to Teduglutide (0.05 Mg/Kg/Day) Or Placebo for 24 Weeks
    Short Bowel (Gut) Syndrome LaTasha Henry February 25th, 2016 Learning Objectives • Define SBS • Normal function of small bowel • Clinical Manifestation and Diagnosis • Management • Updates Basic Definition • A malabsorption disorder caused by the surgical removal of the small intestine, or rarely it is due to the complete dysfunction of a large segment of bowel. • Most cases are acquired, although some children are born with a congenital short bowel. Intestinal Failure • SBS is the most common cause of intestinal failure, the state in which an individual’s GI function is inadequate to maintain his/her nutrient and hydration status w/o intravenous or enteral supplementation. • In addition to SBS, diseases or congenital defects that cause severe malabsorption, bowel obstruction, and dysmotility (eg, pseudo- obstruction) are causes of intestinal failure. Causes of SBS • surgical resection for Crohn’s disease • Malignancy • Radiation • vascular insufficiency • necrotizing enterocolitis (pediatric) • congenital intestinal anomalies such as atresias or gastroschisis (pediatric) Length as a Determinant of Intestinal Function • The length of the small intestine is an important determinant of intestinal function • Infant normal length is approximately 125 cm at the start of the third trimester of gestation and 250 cm at term • <75 cm are at risk for SBS • Adult normal length is approximately 400 cm • Adults with residual small intestine of less than 180 cm are at risk for developing SBS; those with less than 60 cm of small intestine (but with a

  • Esophageal Reconstruction Using a Pedicled Jejunum with Microvascular Augmentation
    Ann Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2011; 17: 103–109 Review Esophageal Reconstruction Using a Pedicled Jejunum with Microvascular Augmentation Takushi Yasuda, MD and Hitoshi Shiozaki, MD The pedicled colon segment is widely accepted as a substitute to the gastric tube in esopha- geal reconstruction of cases where the stomach is not available. The usefulness of reconstruc- tion with a pedicled jejunum has also been reported in recent years. In order to make a long jejunal graft, at least the second and third jejunal vessels have to be severed. However, this leads to a decrease of circulation in the pedicled jejunum. This poor circulation was primar- ily responsible for the high rates of gangrene and mortality (22.2% and 46.5%, respectively) in the beginnings of jejunal reconstruction. Advances in microsurgery have now enabled surgeons to overcome these disadvantages, as a result, both the rates of gangrene and mor- tality have decreased to almost zero since the addition of microvascular anastomosis with the jejunal vessels and the internal thoracic vessels. At present, the reconstruction using a pedi- cled jejunum is a safe operation that provides such advantages as a low incidence of intrinsic disease, more active transport of food, and a lower rate of regurgitation by peristalsis, com- pared with the reconstruction using the pedicled colon. The disadvantage of the procedure is the relatively high rate of anastomotic leakage (11.1% to 19.2%). Improvements in the surgi- cal procedures to overcome this disadvantage are, therefore, needed before it can be recom- mended without any reservations. Key words: esophageal reconstruction, jejunum, microvascular anastomosis, complication Introduction stomach is necessary.
