AI Article Synopsis
- The article reviews common anastomosis techniques used in veterinary medicine, focusing on both handsewn and stapled methods.
- It compares variations in suture patterns, materials, and stapling equipment, while also addressing surgical reinforcement techniques and leak testing.
- Additionally, it touches on ongoing research aimed at improving the assessment of intestinal tissue viability to enhance patient outcomes.
Article Abstract
Both handsewn and stapled anastomosis techniques are performed commonly in veterinary medicine. This article discusses variations and comparisons of these techniques with different suture patterns, suture materials, types of stapling equipment, and staple sizes along with benefits of surgical reinforcement techniques and leak testing. In addition, a minimally invasive surgical approach for gastrointestinal surgery is discussed briefly. This article also briefly highlights current research under way in determining more accurate means of assessing intestinal tissue viability, because determining when and where to resect compromised, and potentially devitalized, intestine is of utmost importance for patient outcomes.
