Does an oblique anastomosis have more linear length than a transverse anastomosis of a tubular structure in oesophageal anastomosis?
Our results suggested that oblique anastomosis is a better surgical procedure for preventing oesophageal stricture, as shown by the increased diameters of oesophageal anastomosis lines and BP.
This in vivo study supports in vitro evidence linking increased TGF-beta immunoreactivity and mast cell hyperplasia and strongly suggests their involvement in the molecular pathogenesis of both primary and consequential radiation enteropathy.
