Abstract
The classical two-layer anastomosis has been experimentally compared with anastomosis using synthetic TachoSil in terms of pre- and post-surgical symptoms and healing status of the anastomotic area in rats. Thirty-six adult male rats were randomly allocated into two groups: in group C (control), classic anastomosis was performed in the ileum of the small intestine, 10 cm away from the ileocecal valve using Vicryl 5-0 interrupted suture; group S (study) received anastomosis in the same area but with TachoSil using three sutures (mesenteric, anti-mesenteric, and anterior wall as suture-less method). The obtained results were analyzed by SPSS20 software, using Chi-square test. Based on the obtained results, group C had more favorable anastomotic healing than group S. Actually, the fibroblast and collagen were seen in most cases of the control rats, while healing was stopped in group S (TachoSil group) in early stages due to thrombosis and vasculitis gangrene. According to the findings, TachoSil patch cannot be advised for safe use in suturing the less small-bowel anastomosis.
