Endoscopic anatomy of the ileocectal department and its clinical value

Abstract

Objective: to improve the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the ileocecal section. To improve the diagnosis and possible operative and endoscopic treatment of the ileocecal section, knowledge of normal anatomy and clinical anatomy is necessary. Much attention is paid to the state of the valvular apparatus of the gastrointestinal tract in normal and with various pathologies, and in particular, the ileocecal section, both in adults and in children. The following intravital methods for diagnosing the condition of the ileocecal section are available: X-ray, endoscopic, functional - peripheral computer electrogastroenterography. Conclusions. The presented literature data testify to the great functional significance of the ileocecal section both for the gastrointestinal tract and for the entire human body as a whole. But the available endoscopic data is fragmentary, illuminates the individual elements of the transition, is not systematized. Thus, the information presented in the review of the literature indicates the relevance and expediency of studying the endoscopic anatomy of the ileocecal section both in normal and in some diseases.
