To Examine the Colon

for retained feces place the soft part of the four fingers of both hands midway between the umbilicus and ensiform car-tilage, then, by pressing them downwards towards the um-bilicus, the contracted colon can be felt to give the sensation of a tense cord. Another method is to grasp the trunk with the two hands and palpate with the thumbs. The descending colon with the splenic angle can be easily defined. The pelvic colon can only be satisfactorily examined per rectu, and bimanually. It is important to examine the ileum as it enters into the caecum at the same time. - Med. Progress.
