Incisional biopsy of other digestive organs, diaphragm and (retro-)peritoneum: Incisional biopsy of small bowel: Ileum

Tissue samples have been taken from the third section of your small intestine.

The small intestine is the longest part of the gastrointestinal tract. The small intestine consists of 3 sections. The 1st section begins immediately after the stomach and is called the duodenum. The gallbladder and the pancreas secrete the digestive juices in this section. The jejunum and ileum sections come next. The nutrients are absorbed into the blood from the food in the small intestine. The small intestine is followed by the large intestine.

The tissue samples were taken during an operation.
