Editorial Note on Cecum and Treatment

For gastrointestinal endoscopists, the ileocecum is that the finish line during colonoscopy and it's identified by three endoscopic landmarks: terminal ileum, valve , and therefore the appendiceal orifice. Although ileal intubation is suggested during routine screening colonoscopy, it's not required in most cases of screening colonoscopy. Ileal intubation is indicated in certain circumstances like suspected inflammatory bowel disease and GI bleeding. there's much pathology which will be observed within the ileocecum. Careful and systematic examination should be stressed during GI endoscopic training and practice. during this review, the authors demonstrate its anatomy, endoscopic findings, and pathologies.
