Ascending colon
Transverse colon Descending colon
Sigmoid colon Rectum

Could it be the stomach?? The transverse colon?? Is it normal??

Ok I’m in Medical Terminology I and I have a case studie that i need help with… Ok so what is Annular Lesion of distal transverse colon proximal to splenic flexure with consistent carcinoma…Ok I know carcin means cancer

I have apaper due, here is my word bank;Mouth, anus, ascending colon, cecum, descending colon, duodenum, esophagus, ileum,jejunum,pharynx,rectum,sigmoid colon, stomach, transverse colon. Now I have to put them in order, by the digestive process, starting with mouth. Can anyone help out? Thanks

I have severe Ulcerative Colitis that goes up into my transverse colon. One doctor recommended surgery but I’m young and I want to keep my colon. Most other doctors recommend trying Remicade. I keep hearing of the side effects and I wanted to know if anyone has been on Remicade or knows people on Remicade and how they do on this drug.

Thanks
As far as negative side effects, I was just concerned about the risk of cancer, infection, and things like that.

Yesterday my sister had surgery to remove her entire ascending and transverse colon to just below the splenic flexure due to cancer. She did get to keep her descending colon and the anastomosis went well. How will this affect her in her every day life? Any information would be appreciated.

I may be jumping the gun but I am curious. All we know at this point is there was a mass found in the proximal transverse colon during a routine colonoscopy and were told that open surgery (colon resection surgery) will probably be recommended from the surgeon. The mass ‘appears’ benign but no biopsy was done since it could not be reached to take a biopsy during the colonoscopy due to the location of the mass. We are currently waiting for the surgeon appointment.

hi, this is very urgent and i cannot find a good atlas that describes the systemic flow of blood through the stomach and transverse colon. does anyone know the answer to this or know a good atlas online that i could use to find this info?

thank you in advance
