The capacity of the colon was determined in 49 children during filling of the colon under fluoroscopic control. The data were evaluated by regression analysis and a mean from the sample was obtained. The capacity of the colon may be determined in milliliters by the formula: V = 233 + 83.87 X (X being the age of the child in years).
