Duodenal repair with a jejunal pedicle graft

The use of a vascularized pedicle jejunal graft as a treatment for anastomosis dehiscence after transanal pull‐through, with a combined approach, in two dogs

“…20 Moreover, Massie et al reported the innovative use of a vascularized pedicled jejunal graft for the successful repair of a large circumferential duodenal perforation in a dog 16 and Bensignor et al subsequently described this technique in detail. 17 Previously, Ziaian et al showed how the jejunal pedicled flap and jejunal serosal patch techniques were effective in closing large duodenal defects in dogs; they obtained better histological results using the jejunal pedicled flap than using the jejunal serosal patch. 18 In these studies, no complications related to the use of the grafts were found.…”

“…3 While the application of jejunal grafts is well-described in humans, [12][13][14][15] it is not frequently used in veterinary medicine. [16][17][18] The aim of this report was to describe the application of a jejunal graft and outcome for the repair of an anastomotic dehiscence after a transanal pull-through procedure for colorectal carcinoma, in two separate dog cases using a combined approach.…”
