Evaluation of the effects of carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum on abdominal wall wound healing in rats undergoing segmental resection and anastomosis of the left colon

Abstract: PURPOSE: To evaluate the influence of carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum on abdominal wall wound healing in rats. METHODS: Eighty rats underwent laparotomy, segmental left colon resection, and anastomosis. The animals were divided into three experimental groups and one control group: EI = pneumoperitoneum for 30 minutes before laparotomy (n=20); EII = pneumoperitoneum for 30 minutes after abdominal closure (n=20); EIII = pneumoperitoneum for 30 minutes before laparotomy and 30 minutes after abdominal closure (n=2… Show more

“…An environment pressurized with CO 2 may alter angiogenesis and inflammatory response processes and, thus, interfere with the inflammatory and proliferative phases of healing 20 , 33 . The results of this study are consistent with those of previous studies by our group that have analyzed healing by various parameters: histopathological analysis with hematoxylin-eosin staining, tensile strength, rupture pressure, and hydroxyproline scar concentration 20 , 32 . In all these studies, pneumoperitoneum has proven to be safe and not to interfere with wound healing.…”

“…The anastomotic breaking strength (ABS) was evaluated with a vertical test apparatus called Versa Test (Mecmesin Versa Test, United Kingdom), coupled to a portable digital dynamometer in which the colonic anastomosis samples were attached and pulled with a speed of 25mm/min [12]. …”
