Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how phenytoin, a medication, affects the healing of colorectal anastomoses in rats, focusing on different application methods: intraperitoneal, oral, and rectal.
  • It measures the impact of phenytoin on gene expressions related to healing and compares bursting pressure and tissue examination results between treated and control rats.
  • Findings reveal that phenytoin application significantly increases anastomotic bursting pressure and enhances expression of genes involved in healing, particularly FGF2 and TGF-β, indicating potential benefits for improving recovery following colonic surgery.
