Healing of colonic ischemic anastomoses in the rat

Abstract: Superoxide radicals are involved in the delay in healing of ischemic anastomoses. Allopurinol lowers superoxide anion production and has beneficial effects on the cicatrization of ischemic anastomoses.

“…After gastrointestinal surgery, many instances of leakage during clinical situations (tension sutures and excessive devascularization of the ends) exhibit hypoperfusion of anastomoses. If the degree of hypoxia is enough to interfere with tissue viability, then tissues necrose, thereby resulting in delayed wound healing [5]. Ischemic wounds heal poorly and infect easily.…”

“…As the surgical techniques and the suture materials, other factors interfere in anastomosis quality, as antibiotics 4,5 , antioxidants 6,7 , antineoplasics 8 , imunossupressors 9 , hormones 10 , trauma 11 , shock [12][13][14] , adherences 15,16 and ischemia 17,18 .…”

“…Therefore, the anastomosis became relatively ischemic without complete necrosis of the intestine tissue. [9][10][11] The abdomen was then closed with sutures of 3-0 silk. All rats were euthanized on postoperative day 4.…”
