- Abstract
- For clinical application of the technique for creation of an isolated bowel
segment(IBS) for lengthening the intestine, the absorptive function of the IBS was
measured in rats. An IBS is a segment of the intestine which is devoid of its mesentery
and nourished solely by the collaterals from the abdominal wall. The technique for creation
of the IBS has been established, but its absorptive function has yet to be
explored. Absorptive clearance of D-glucose and L-leucine was compared between the
control loop and the IBS. Water flux, capacity and the intraluminal pressure of the
bowel segment were also measured, using the single-perfusion technique. This study
revealed that the IBS maintained substantial absorptive function and that the loss of
external innervation might have influenced water flux in the IBS.
