ILEOSTOMY, AND DIGITAL DILATATION OF SMALL INTESTINE.

Segmental dilatation of the small intestine.

In 1959 Swenson and Rathauser described three patients with an unusual dilatation of the colon. Each case had been referred to the hospital with a diagnosis of Hirschsprung's disease (congenital aganglionic megacolon), and on the whole the histories were consistent with this diagnosis. Histological examination of a pre-operative rectal biopsy specimen and a specimen taken during operation, howe...

Prolapse of the Small Intestine from the Uterine Perforation at Dilatation and Curettage

Dilatation and curettage (D&C) sometimes causes uterine perforation, which usually does not cause a serious problem. Here, we report uterine perforation caused by D&C, in which the small intestine prolapsed from the uterus, requiring intestinal resection. D&C was performed for missed abortion at 9 weeks. After dilating the cervix, forceps grasped tissue that, upon being pulled, resulted in the ...

Histomorphometric changes of small intestine in pregnant rat

Food intake of rats increases during pregnancy. This requires changes in the structure of the small intestine to absorb additional food. The aim of the present study was to investigate the morphological changes in the layers of small intestine in rats during pregnancy. Duodenum, jejunum and ileum of 18 pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats (day 7, 14 and 21 of pregnancy) were collected. Villous height a...
