Abstract
Studies on colonic regional blood flow have been relatively few; they have either used purely qualitative techniques [1] or used quantitative means that have substantially interfered with the integrity of the colon itself [2] or with its neurovascular supply [3–5]. Furthermore, there has been no dynamic study on the differential segmental colonic blood flow in man. The present study assesses the missing aspects of the dynamic colonic segmental blood flow, volume distribution and cross-sectional microcirculation in man. It also examines whether the critical anatomical points in colorectal vasculature have any physiological counterpart in the blood flow and whether these points have any impact on colorectal surgery.
