Sanal, M; Sinmaz, K; Sunay, F B; Çavusoglu, I, & Büyükçoban, M
Abstract
The aim of this study is, could we transform demucosed colon into the small bowel? To find the answer, this study was investigated the surface changes of demucosed colon segment, interposed into the small bowel fashioned as a blind loop. This study was performed in five healthy young stray dogs. A blind loop was fashioned, using a 5 cm long demucosed colonic segment and a 20 cm long ileal segment. Ileal and colonic continuity were restored by primary anastomosis. Four weeks later, blind loop was resected and examined histologically under light microscopy. Histological findings revealed that demucosed colonic segment interposed into the small bowel fashioned as a blind loop, was covered with small bowel epithelium.
