Efficacy of the rubber tube as an internal lining in the esophageal anastomosis in dogs
Abstract
The aim of this work was to evaluate the operatory technique using a Penrose drain as an internal lining in the esophagus-esophageal cervical anastomosis. Sixteen male dogs with an average weight between 8 and 10kg were distributed in two groups of 8 animals based on post-operative periods: 7 and 14 days. In each group, the morbidity and macroscopic and microscopic alterations caused by anastomosis were evaluated. No fistula and no death were observed in the post-operative period. All animals presented dysphagia for at least 7 days. Optical microscopic analysis revealed deficiency of regeneration in the submucous and mucous tunics in the anastomosis line. The results permitted to conclude that the esophagus-esophageal cervical anastomosis using a Penrose drain as an internal lining is possible, but presents complications.Downloads
