Effect of thalidomide on the healing of colonic anastomosis, in rats

Abstract: Purpose: Thalidomide, because of its anti-inflammatory properties, as re-emerged as an option for the treatment of Crohn's disease refractory to standard therapy. We studied the effect of thalidomide on the healing of colonic anastomosis. Methods: Sixty male rats (Rattus norvegicus), were divided into 3 groups of 20 animals each, respectively receiving 0.5 or 1.0 mg/kg thalidomide by the oral route for 7 days, or saline solution (control). All animals were submitted to continuous end-to-end anastomosis with 6-… Show more

“…Healing is a complex process influenced by many factors, among these the general state of the patient, the blood supply and tissue oxygenation, the quality of the local vasculature, blood volume, surgical technique and the site of anastomosis 7 . Therefore, hemorrhagic shock will directly harm the healing process as the major bleeding results in decreased oxygen supply, lack of energy supply and tissue injury 3 .…”
