![]() ![]() For the rectum ( rectum), we suggest the term bend (superior, intermediate and inferior) when viewed in the frontal plane, the term curvature (sacral curvature anorectal curvature = perineal curvature) when viewed in the sagittal plane. ![]() Inferior to the liver and below the ninth and tenth ribs, the colon turns to the left, forming the right colic flexure, also called the hepatic flexure. With this in mind, we propose to speak of colic flexures (right colic flexure = RCF = hepatic flexure, flexura coli sinistra left colic flexure = LCF = splenic flexure, flexura coli dextra descending-sigmoid flexure = DSF sigmoid-rectum flexure = SRF) for the colon ( colon). The ascending colon extends superiorly from the cecum along the right side of the abdominal cavity towards the right lobe of the liver. To accommodate both “ways of looking” in terms of modern medicine, we have been guided by today's clinical needs, and here we attempt to reconcile these with the historically evolved anatomical terms to create a nomenclature that meets all the needs of students, anatomists and clinicians looking at the large intestine from the inside and outside. The addition of a duodenocolic fistula to the problem of treatment of carcinoma of the. This allows examiners to see the terminal section of the intestine and the colon from the “inside”. We have never seen a duodenocolic fistula caused by peptic ulcer disease. For the greater part of clinicians, however, the view has shifted due to modern endoscopy. This view is still useful in clinical practice today (e.g. This is historically based on the fact that anatomists saw the colon in its position in the abdominal cavity down to the pelvis and thus from the “outside” and also described it in this way. The left colic or splenic flexure is situated at the junction of the transverse and descending parts of the colon, and is in relation with the lower end of the spleen and the tail of the pancreas the flexure is so acute that the end of the transverse colon usually lies in contact with the front of the descending colon. It is important for the gastroenterologists and laparoscopic surgeons to be aware of this fold to avoid misdiagnosis and iatrogenic injuries.There are a number of inconsistencies in the description of the bends of the colon down to the anus. With this in mind, we propose to speak of colic flexures (right colic flexure RCF hepatic flexure, flexura coli sinistra left colic flexure LCF splenic flexure, flexura coli dextra descending-sigmoid flexure DSF sigmoid-rectum flexure SRF) for the colon ( colon ). ![]() A case similar to this has not been reported yet. The fold extended from the descending part of the duodenum and the transverse colon to the gallbladder. The fold was seen to compress the duodenum and colon. Splenic flexure syndrome is a condition that causes gas to become trapped inside flexures or curves within your colon. DAV was describe in cm measured by previous to surgery or treatment, colonoscopy, CT or MRI. We report an unusual cysto-duodeno-colic fold observed during our dissection classes. LC was defined as tumors originating anywhere from the distal rectum to the left colic flexure (splenic flexure). Knowledge of these folds is important for radiologists, gastroenterologists, and surgeons. Many unusual clinically important peritoneal folds such as Ladd's band, cysto-gastro-colic fold, omento-cystic fold, and cysto-colic fold have been reported earlier. Some of them might compress or strangulate the viscera and others might determine the direction of the flow of peritoneal fluid, pus or blood. The splenic flexure is called that because its near your spleen, but sometimes its called the left colic flexure. Fortunately, it is a location which veterinarians can usually feel on rectal exam, making diagnosis easy. ![]() It is quite common to see abnormal peritoneal folds in the abdominal cavity. Your colon has two flexures: one on the right side and one on the left. The pelvic flexure is one of the most common locations for an impaction to occur, because at this point the large colon does a 180 degree turn a large bolus of dry fecal matter can easily get stuck. ![]()
