ABSTRACT
Thirty three healthy, New Zealand rabbits, underwent a total gastrectomy via laparotomy and subsequent evaluation of gastric dimensions. Were measured the lengths of the lesser and greater gastric curvature, in addition to the largest diameters of the organ. They presented average overall length of the lesser and greater curvature, respectively 6.7 cm and 27.3 cm. In addition, open surgical specimen presented a total area of 172.6 cm2. The sample was divided into two groups by age to perform comparisons between weight and stomach measures. Group 1 consisted of animals with age equal or less than 138 days and group 2 those with more than 138 days. No significant differences were found between the groups. This may suggest the use of younger animals to perform experiments related to surgical training involving the stomach, without dimensional prejudice of organ or generation of technical difficulties. Finally, it was noted also the predominance of the left gastric artery in the irrigation of the gastric wall and the presence of a transparent film between the liver and stomach in all animals.
RESUMEN
Treinta y tres conejos, neozelandeses, sanos, se sometieron a una gastrectomía total por laparotomía y posterior evaluación de las dimensiones gástricas. Se midió la longitud de las curvaturas gástricas menor y mayor y el diámetro mayor del órgano. La longitud total promedio de las curvaturas menor y mayor fue de 6,7 cm y 27,3 cm, respectivamente. La zona quirúrgica abierta presentada 172,6 cm2. Según la edad y para hacer comparaciones entre el peso y las medidas gástricas la muestra se dividió en dos grupos. Grupo 1 animales con menos de 138 días y grupo 2 animales que tenían más de 138 días. No se encontraron diferencias significativas entre los grupos. Esto puede sugerir que para el entrenamiento quirúrgico el uso de animales más jóvenes puede ser llevado a cabo en los protocolos. Finalmente, se observó en todos los animales predominio de la arteria gástrica izquierda en la irrigación de la pared gástrica y la presencia de una fina capa peritoneal transparente entre el hígado y el estómago.
