Duodeno-Jejunal Recess

Duodenal - Jejunal Recess (lat. recessus duodenojejunalis; synonyms: duodenum - jejunal pouch, duodeno - ileocecal pouch, trezocecal pouch) is an anatomical formation, which is a depression that is located between the duodenum and the ileocecal angle. This recess serves to connect the duodenum with the jejunum and for the outflow of bile from the gallbladder into the duodenum.

The duodenal-jejunal recess has a triangular shape and is located on the posterior wall of the ileocecal fossa. It is limited on one side by the duodenum, and on the other side by the ileocecal angle. The size and shape of the depression may vary from person to person, but it is usually no more than 2.5 cm long and 1.5 cm wide.

The duodenal cavity contains lymph nodes, which play an important role in the immune system. They can also be the site of cysts, tumors, or other pathological conditions.

The importance of the duodenal recess is that it provides access to the duodenum and jejunum, and also promotes the circulation of bile and digestive enzymes. Any changes in this depression can lead to indigestion and other diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.

Thus, the duodenal recess is an important anatomical formation that plays an important role in the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and can be subject to various pathological changes.
