Is phenytoin a safe agent for staple line recovery after gastric sleeve surgery in rats?
Ferhat Çay
Abstract:BACKGROUND:The most challenging and mortal complication of gastric sleeve surgery (SG) is staple line leakage. Although many agents have been used for increasing tissue healing on the stapler line, there is still no consensus on its effectiveness and efficacy. The aim of study is to determine the effect of phenytoin on the healing process of gastric sleeve surgery in rats.
METHODS:On the 10th post-operative day, the effects of phenytoin on bursting pressure in the stapler line were evaluated alongside pathohis… Show more
