Figures
- Figure 1.
Construction of anastomosis. An intestinal anastomosis with defect on the antimesenteric side (I.), the size of the defect is standardized using a drain tube.
- Figure 2.
Scanning electron microscopy. Scanning electron microscopy images of the two prepared materials; A) PCL/PVA 1 material; B) PCL/PVA 2 material.
- Figure 3.
Intraoperative findings. Examples of intraoperative findings, the forceps point to the anastomosis in all of the specimens; A) animal from Control group, well healed anastomosis, no defect is visible; B) animal from PCL/PVA1 group, the material is visible, a string of omental adhesion is attached to the anastomosis, no defect is visible; C) animal from PCL/PVA2 group, multiple adhesions of the anastomosed intestine, material is visible under a layer of peritoneum and peritoneal adhesions.
- Figure 4.
Specimens in blue–trichrome-stained comprehensive histological slides. A) example from the Control group; B) example from the PCL/PVA1 group; C) example from the PCL/PVA2 group.
- Figure 5.
Results of histological evaluation in box plot graphs. A) Anastomosis deficiency score; B) comparison of collagen fibers volume fractions; C) comparison of vWF positive cells volume fractions; D) comparison of MAC387 positive cells volume fractions.
- Figure 6.
Washed out material imprint. A PCL/PVA1 specimen in blue trichrome staining, the two separated layers of the material are clearly visible.
