Abstract
Surgery involving small bowel is performed very frequently. The reasons are different such as involvement of small bowel loops growing in continuity with tumors of other organs, having to deal with perforations during the taking down of adhesions, or for resection of the ischemic loops found in an incarcerated hernia. These are distinct scenarios found in surgical practice each day. Moreover, resections have to be planned for treating specific diseases of the small bowel, such as Crohn’s disease or the more rare small bowel cancers and lymphomas associated with celiac disease.
