Popis: |
Although the small intestine comprises approximately 70 to 80% of the length of the gastrointestinal tract and 90% of the mucosal surface area, only about 3 to 6% of tumors involving the intestines arise in the small bowel. Non-malignant disorders of the small bowel are equally uncommon. Therefore, resective surgery of the small intestine is uncommon and the operative procedure most commonly performed on the small bowel is perhaps that for the placement of enteral feeding appliances. Although the small intestine is often used as a conduit during other major surgery, this chapter will be devoted to the laparoscopic surgery on the small intestine itself. |
