Ileocecal Resection and Small Bowel Transit and Absorption

Bowel endometriosis treated with simultaneous ileocecal and rectal resection

A 43-year-old female noticed hematochezia and lower-right abdominal pain during menstruation. Her family doctor detected a mass by computed tomography at the ileocecum. She was referred to our hospital and colonoscopy was performed. We observed extrinsic pressure resulting in mucosal change at the ileocecum.

Plasma levels of 25-OHD after an oral dose of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25-ohd3) were also reduced in the patient group. Dietary intake of vitamin D tended to be low in many patients, but seasonal variation of plasma 25-OHD levels...
