The duodenum is only the first portion of the small intestine. The small intestine comprises the duodenum, the jejunum, and the ileum. Following the ileum of the small intestine is the ileocecal valve, which separates the small intestine from the large intestine. The duodenum is separated from the stomach by the pyloric sphincter.
The small intestine is usually attached to the large intestine and that is attached to the rectum. If the large intestine is so damaged or diseased that it must be completely removed, the surgeon may attach the small intestine to the rectum using sutures that eventually dissolve. The loss of the large intestine is a serious matter and may result in an iliostomy (connecting the end of the small intestine to an abdominal hole, or stoma, to which an external bag is attached) rather than to the rectum.
