The types of blood supply of the sigmorectal segment intestinal wall in the second trimester fetuses

Abstract

The main purpose of surgical treatment of Hirschsprung's disease both in children and adults is a maximum removal of the aganlionic area, dilated portions and maintenance of the colon functional part. During resection of the sigmoid colon preservation of anastomosis between the latter sigmoid and upper rectal arteries is a crucial moment during the postoperative period. When an adequate blood supply is lacking, postoperative ischemic colitis and ischemic strictures may occur. Literary analysis is indicative of the fact that the information concerning anatomy of the sigmorectal segment is not systematized and fragmentary. Angioarchitectonics of the sigmorectal segment in the fetuses of the second trimester of the intrauterine development requires certain specification.
