Other operations on small and large intestine: Inspection of and other interventions for an ileostomy: Plastic narrowing: Duodenum
Your artificial anus at your duodenum has been surgically narrowed.
The small intestine is the longest section of the digestive tract. It 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.
An artificial anus can be used, for example, to get food straight to the small intestine using a tube.
The opening of the artificial anus sometimes becomes too wide over time. The opening can then be surgically narrowed. The body’s own tissue or synthetic material can be used to achieve this.
