Anatomical Study of Sigmoid Colon

Abstract

In this era there is increased incidence of carcinoma of the large bowel, sigmoid colon is one of the commonest sites affected. The knowledge of this study is of immense value in which surgery should be planned in resection of this region & need to be investigated. The knowledge of the anatomical study of sigmoid colon is having great importance in patients with carcinoma of Rectum the sigmoid colon is often selected as site for performing a colostomy. The mobility of sigmoid colon makes it suitable for implantation of the ureters after surgical removal of bladder. Sigmoid colon shows great variation in its length as the length is more it can cause pathological condition like volvulus. Laparoscopic colorectal interventions in sigmoid diverticulitis are, for the most part, carried out as elective procedures for peridiverticulitis, stenosis, or recurrent attacks of inflammation. The conversion, complication, and mortality rates associated with these interventions are acceptable. Laparoscopic procedures in Hinchey stages I to IV sigmoid diverticulitis and in the presence of fistula and bleeding are more likely to be associated with complications, and should be carried out only by highly experienced laparoscopic surgeons. For that importance to conduct the sigmoid colon surgeries and procedures here we are studying about sigmoid colon shape, location and length.
