Question 1

what is it if you were told that u have a few scattered small colonic diverticulea with no inflamation?

Accepted Answer

Diverticulosis: A diverticulum is a pouch-like structure that can form in the muscular wall of the colon, particularly at points where blood vessels enter.

Diverticulosis affects men and women equally. The risk of diverticular disease increases with age. It occurs throughout the world but is seen more commonly in developed countries.
They can get infected and also bleed. When infected its called diverticulitis.

Question 2

ileoproctostomy - can the distal ileum b atached 2 the remaing small colon instead of remaing rectum? if theres no large, can small b atached 2 rectum

Accepted Answer

Yes : A small bowel could be attached to any large vowel even if the part of the large vowel remain is only the rectum . Yes as long as you have 5 cm of the large vowel still exist another small or large bowel could be attached to it

Question 3

in my colon what is lipoma in the distal ascending colon

Accepted Answer

A : A colon lipoma is a benign fatty lump that occurs underneath the internal lining of the intestine. Unless it became large, they are generally observed and are not a pre-cancerous condition. The distal ascending colon would be located in the right upper abdomen region.

Question 4

what does congestion in distal sigmoid colon mean?

Accepted Answer

Unclear: May indicate inflammatory bowel disease-talk to gastroenterologist.

Question 5

where is distal transverse colon located, whether it is after descending colon?

Accepted Answer

Anatomy?: The transverse colon is riding roughly horizontally on top of the abdomen and the distal part is the part which is closest to the part when the colon descends to become the descending colon.   Just curious as to why you are asking this question since the info is readily available in the internet.

Question 6

imaging report says barium contrast was refluxed to the distal decending colon.  what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

Barium is pushed: Backward into your colon via an enema. This seems to just mean that the barium reached your descending colon which is on the left side of the abdomen. It must first pass retrograde through rectum and sigmoid.

Question 7

would having a few scattered diverticuli of left colon be categorized as having diverticular disease ?

Accepted Answer

Technically: It's not really a disease but rather a description of the state of your colon.

Question 8

what does "distal decending colon remaining on barium enema" mean in regards to the results from a barium enema test?

Accepted Answer

Non Sequitur: Isolated phrase taken out of context is uninterpretable.
They may be addressing residual Barium contrast remaining in descending colon on post evacuation film, which is of no clinical significance

Question 9

where is the distal transverse colon? i had a colon polyp removed and that is what the report says as the location that the polyp was found.

Accepted Answer

Under ribs: The transverse colon crosses from the left to right under your ribs(usually).Distal means away from beginning(right lower abdomen). I suspect the polyp was under your left rib cage.The important part is repeat colonoscopy at interval recommended by the GI dr.

Question 10

i have been diagnosed with a tight stricture of the distal sigmoid colon, due to chron's disease - biopsy showed severe inflammation.  what next?

Accepted Answer

Conservative: care having "failed" surgery may be indicated... This is COMPLEX and requires evaluation far BEYOND what is available here on HEALTH TAP PRIME.

Good Luck
