Q5
Single choice
Apatient is operated on with the presumptive diagnosis of acute appendicitis. However, at operation, the appendix and cecum are found to be normal. The terminal ileum though is red, edematous, and thickened with creeping of the mesenteric fat onto the ileum for a distance of approximately 30 cm. There is no dilation of the bowel proximal to the area of inflammation.
The remainder of the small bowel is normal.
What is the appropriate operative procedure?
