Does inhibition of matrix metalloproteinases enhance breaking strength of colonic anastomoses in an experimental model?
The enhanced breaking strength of colonic anastomoses during the critical early postoperative phase found after administration of a broad-spectrum MMP inhibitor implies that MMPs might increase the risk of anastomotic dehiscence.
