Rectum

Introduction A proctoscopy is a procedure that uses a hollow, metal tube (proctoscope) to look inside the anus and rectum. This test is typically used to check for signs of disease or cancer in the rectum or anal cavity. It may also be used to diagnose enlarged tissue at the end of the rectum (hemorrhoids). In some cases, a sample of mucus or tissue (biopsy) may be taken during the procedure so that it can be tested for signs of disease. A proctoscopy is a relatively quick test and is usually not

appendages to its external coat, the appendices epiploicae. Further, its longitudinal muscular fibers do not form a continuous layer around the gut, but are arranged in three longitudinal bands. The large intestine is divided into the cecum, colon, rectum, and anal canal (Henry Gray 2004). I-The Cecum: It is attached to the ileum and extends approximately two and one-half inches below it. The cecum in an adult usually is adherent to the posterior wall of the peritoneal cavity and has a

condition. It can restrict your movements and interfere with the daily routine, also it may create embarresment in the affected person. They are veins around your anus or anal canal that are abnormally dilated. Hemorrhoids may be located inside the rectum called internal hemorrhoids, or they can develop under the skin outside the anus and are called external hemorrhoids. Statistics studies shows that this is a common problem in the population. About 50% to 70% americans are affected sometime during

This bag collects the stool. For a posterior sagittal anorectoplasty: Depending on the specific abnormality, the surgery may require incisions on the abdomen, the buttocks, or both. An opening will be made where the anus is supposed to be. The rectum will be moved and then pulled down to the new opening on the bottom. If a fistula is seen, the surgeon will close it at this time. If the child has a colostomy, it usually is left as is for a few months. AFTER THE PROCEDURE Your child will stay in

Furthermore, its longitudinal muscular fibers are arranged in three longitudinal bands rather than forming a continuous layer around the gut. The large intestine is divided into the cecum, colon, rectum, and anal canal (Henry Gray 2004). I-The Cecum: It is connected to the ileum and extends around two and half inches below it. The adult cecum is usually adherent to the posterior wall of the peritoneal cavity with a serosal cover on its

(Borg, 2013) Internal Anal Sphincter The internal anal sphincter (IAS) represents a thickening of the circular smooth muscle layer of the terminal rectum at the level of the anal canal; it extends about 2 cm below the dentate line and is located between the anal mucosa and rectal longitudinal, separated by the

Drugs are incorporated into suitable suppository bases which may be fatty base or water soluble base to form suppositories into suitable shape to be inserted into the rectum. [3] In the rectum, the suppositories release their drug content by melting at body temperature or dissolving in rectal mucous secretion to be diffused across the rectal epithelium into the mucosa that is abundantly vascularised. [4] The drug can be absorbed

Virtual Colonoscopy Virtual colonoscopy is a procedure that can be used to examine the large intestine (colon), the rectum, and the small intestine. In this procedure, X-rays and computers (CT scan or MRI) are used to produce images of these body areas. The exam can help find problems such as tumors, polyps, or diverticulosis. Virtual colonoscopy provides a way to examine the colon without inserting the flexible instrument (colonoscope) into the colon as is done in a regular colonoscopy. However

Suppositories Rectal route with local or general effects is an interesting possibility of treatment. Easy use and rapid absorption are two major advantages. Hemorrhoids suppositories are a pretty old, mode of getting drugs into the body, and hemorrhoids suppositories are being used since Hippocrates, one of the founding fathers of Western medicine, who described a method of using reusable suppositories. Most suppositories these days aren’t meant to be reusable like the one described by him
