Biomaterial-Assisted Anastomotic Healing: Serosal Adhesion of Pectin Films
Anastomotic leakage is a frequent complication of intestinal surgery and a major source of surgical morbidity. The timing of anastomotic failures suggests that leaks are the result of inadequate mechanical support during the vulnerable phase of wound healing. To identify a biomaterial with physical...
