ABSTRACT
Objective To study the influence of the surgical glue on anastomosis scar formation after bilioenterostomy Methods Seventy-two hybrid canines were randomly assigned into group A (OB glue plus persistent T tube stent ), group B (OB glue plus T tube drawn out at different postoperative time), group C ( FG plus persistent T tube stent ) and group D (FG plus T tube drawn out at different postoperative time). The surgical glue (OB glue or FG) was used instead of silk thread in biliointestinal Roux-en-Y anastomosis, and T tube was placed as indwelling stent. The collagen content (BCC) of anastomotic specimen was measured in 3 weeks and 3 , 6 , 9 ,12 months after the operation. Results Three months after the operation, BCC in group B was significantly higher than that in group A (P0.05). Conclusions The surgical glue can promote anastomosis healing with less scar formation, and accelerate scar softening and maturation, which suggests that surgical glue should be effective in the prevention of anastomotic stricture.
