Do bovine pericardium buttress reinforces colorectal anastomoses in a canine model?
The use of a collagen matrix buttress in colorectal anastomoses was safe in a canine model. Our study indicates that true burst strength of the majority of buttressed anastomoses was greater than the adjacent intestine.
Through the use of identical twins, this study provides further evidence that finasteride significantly reduces hair loss progression and restores hair growth in men with male pattern hair loss.
