Because of the proximity of the internal female genital structures to the gastrointestinal tract, diseases in one system can involve the other. Primary pathology in one system can present with signs, symptoms, and physical findings mimicking disease in the other. The gynecologic surgeon can better plan the operative procedure and thereby provide better

The oesophagus extends from the pharynx at the level of the sixth cervical vertebra to the stomach at the level of T10. It lies in close relation to the aorta from T3 downwards and is behind the heart in the anterior/posterior plane from T5 to T10. It is lined by squamous epithelium.

Quinolones and the gastrointestinal tract
European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 1989A number of studies have evaluated the efficacy of the new fluoroquinolones for therapy of bacterial enteric diseases and for prevention of gram-negative sepsis in granulocytopenic patients. The success of the quinolones in these settings is related to several special features of these agents, including their spectrum of activity and high fecal levels,
