Not All Porcine Intestinal Segments Are Equal in Terms of Breaking Force, but None Were Associated to Allometric Parameters

Biomechanics are gaining ground in gastroenterology in the creation of educational models and to describe the necessary forces to perforate hallow organs during endoscopy. We thus investigated the breaking forces of porcine intestinal segments and whether they could be predicted based on body weight...
