摘要

Structures neighboring the target of radiation therapy are subject to unintended injury. The terminal ileum, about 20 cm from the colon, naturally lies in the pelvis and is the segment of the small intestine most likely to be injured by radiation. In the surgical management of radiation enteritis, at least one end of an anastomosis is made from nonirradiated bowel.
