N2 - An enteric valve to prevent colonic content reflux and to prolong small bowel transit time was created by passing small bowel through a submucosal tunnel in the colon. Barium enema, GI tract series, and iso- and antiperistaltic pressure measurements showed the valve to be of competence equal to the ileo-cecal valve. Late pathological examination revealed a patent valve with minimal scar formation. The optimal submucosal tunnel length was between 4 and 6 cm. This valve can, theoretically, increase the absorptive capacity in short bowel syndrome and may serve as a substitute for the critically important ileo-cecal valve.
