colon o mesocolon sigmoideo prossimale


Explanation:
I want only add that "proximal sigmoid" and relative translation "sigma prossimale" are vulgar and inaccurate terms. The correct anatomic term is "proximal sigmoid colon" or "proximal sigmoid mesocolon" with the translation "colon sigmoideo prossimale" and, respectively, "mesocolon sigmoideo prossimale"
see Netter, Interactive atlas of human anatomy
AND
Martini, anatomia umana

I add some notes from the just acquired Zanichelli - Medicina e biologia
searching the term \"sigmoid\" I found:
colon sigmoideum; pelvic colon; sigmoid colon
Tratto del colon compreso tra il punto in cui fa ingresso nella piccola pelvi e l\'inizio del retto
SIN. colon pelvico

buon lavoro a tutti
