retracted: Anatomical and Surgical Specifics of the Ileocecal Valve

Ileocecal valve was discovered in 1579 by the Swiss physician, anatomist, and botanist Gaspard Bauhin. Ileocecal valve is formed as a result of protrusion of the circular muscular layer of the distal ileum into the lumen of the large intestine. Ileocecal valve is the junction of the small and large intestine and marks the beginning of the ascending part of the colon. It is usually located on the medial wall of the colon (81-90%), but can occur on the lateral (1-15%) or posterior (3-8%) wall. The main blood supply basin of the ileocolic junction is the ileocolic artery. The histological structure of the Bauhin's valve is closely linked to the histological structure of the terminal ileum and the initial ileum of the colon. Treatment of the primary valve disease, ileocecal valve insufficiency, is divided into therapeutic and surgical. The therapeutic one includes the use of antibiotics and orotic magnesium salt. The surgical option is bauhinioplasty, in which the key to successful treatment is successful remodelling and formation of a new interintestinal connection.
