Effects of hypertonic saline replacement on colonic anastomosis in experimental hemorrhagic shock model in rats.

Background: Inadequate intestinal perfusion resulting from hemorrhagic shock negatively affects wound healing. In this experimental study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of resuscitation with hypertonic saline on colonic anastomosis in rats with controlled hemorrhagic shock.

Methods: A total of 24 male Wistar albino rats weighing between 200 and 250 g were used in this study.
