Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the construction time and leakage resistance of five intestinal anastomosis techniques in cats while also measuring normal gastrointestinal thickness.
- A total of 120 segments of cat intestines were used to test techniques, including hand-sewn and stapled methods, measuring factors like time taken and internal pressure after construction.
- Results showed that while all methods prevented leakage beyond normal pressure levels, stapled techniques were significantly faster to perform compared to hand-sewn methods.

This experimental study compared leak pressures and completion time of intestinal anastomoses performed by novice veterinarians and a Board-certified surgeon using simple interrupted and simple continuous suture patterns. Grossly normal jejunal segments ( = 108) from 6 fresh canine cadavers were used to harvest 8-cm cooled canine cadaveric jejunal segments that were randomly assigned to a control group (12 segments) and 4 treatment groups (24 segments/group, 12 constructs/group): i) simple interrupted anastomoses performed by a Board-certified surgeon (BSI); ii) simple continuous anastomoses performed by a Board-certified surgeon (BSC); iii) simple interrupted anastomoses performed by novice veterinarians (NSI); and iv) simple continuous anastomoses performed by novice veterinarians (NSC). Median (range) initial leak pressure (ILP) for control was 400.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess whether using saline or air for intraluminal injection could better detect leakage in enterotomy closures in canine jejunal segments.
- Results showed that air injections led to lower leak pressures compared to saline, indicating that air may be a more effective option for detecting leaks during surgery.
- Overall, the findings suggest that using air for leak testing in small intestinal enterotomy closures can improve sensitivity and precision, which has important implications for surgical practices.
