Healing of the right and left colon. An experimental study

D Demetriades et al. S Afr Med J. .

Abstract

An experimental study investigated the relative healing properties of the unprepared right and left colon of the baboon. Colonic healing was assessed in three ways: anastomostic leakage, hydroxyproline concentration and breaking strength. The results suggest that healing on the two sides of the colon is similar.
