Meaning of gastroenterostomía transmesocolónica posterior by John Rene Plaut

TRANSMESOCOLONIC AND NOT TRANSMESOCOLONIC . Trans means "through", whereas "after" is a prefix for "back of", as in backroom and transcend (influence, remain for posterity). A little clinical culture to better understand: TRANSESOPHAGEAL ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY is an ultrasound of the heart but that is done from the inside out, that is through the esophagus. TRANSVAGINAL ULTRASOUND is that gynecological echo in which the tranaductor passes through the vagina. . In the colon we can distinguish the transverse mesocolon and the sigmoid mesocolon, the two freer and most mobile portions of the colon. However, sometimes there are some firm adhesions from the cecum (from where the mesoapéndice comes out) to the hepatic angle, and there is almost fixed the mesocolon to the wall. The same thing happens on the other side, from the splenic angle to where the sigmoid begins Now, an enterostomy is an "ostomy", that is, an ABRACAMIENTO (conjunction of two mouths to transfer fluids from one to the other) from one part of the digestive tract to the skin. The prefix "whole" (etymologically intestine, digestive tract) means that the small intestine communicates with the outside. The prefix "gastro" (etymologically stomach, ventral zone) refers to the other party participating in the abocamiento. Understood this, it is a TRANSMESOCOLONIC GASTROENTEROSTOMY POSTERIOR abocamiento between the small intestine and the wall of the stomach performed through the back of the colon, in the middle intestine.
