A recent study conducted at the University of North Dakota compared the stapled vs handsewn techniques for closing common enterotomies during bowel anastomoses. The research found that there was no significant difference in leak rates between the two techniques, with the stapled technique being faster on average. The study concluded that the stapled technique is an acceptable and potentially preferred method, especially in emergent settings. This peer-reviewed research provides valuable insights for surgeons performing these procedures. [Extracted from the article]

A study conducted by researchers at Islamic Azad University in Tabriz, Iran, investigated the use of injectable platelet-rich fibrin as a suture line reinforcement method in canine enterotomy. The researchers hypothesized that the application of injectable platelet-rich fibrin could increase the leakage pressure of enterotomy incisions. While the results showed an increase in leakage pressure in the treatment groups compared to the control groups, further in vivo investigations are needed to determine the clinical applicability of this method. The study provides valuable insights into potential advancements in surgical techniques for enterotomy. [Extracted from the article]

Researchers at the University of Florida conducted a study comparing the leak pressures and gross wall thickness of fresh and cooled feline cadavers in relation to enterotomy, a surgical procedure involving an incision in the intestine. The study found that there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of leak pressure or wall thickness. The research was conducted ex vivo on 20 feline cadavers. This information may be useful for those studying veterinary surgery and gastroenterology. The study has been peer-reviewed and published in Veterinary Surgery. [Extracted from the article]

A patent application has been submitted for a system that aims to improve the formation of anastomoses, which are connections between tissues in the body. The current methods of creating anastomoses involve invasive procedures and can lead to complications. The proposed system uses mechanical couplings or magnets to create a compressive anastomosis, which can be less invasive and reduce the risk of complications. The system includes a delivery device that can be inserted into the body to deploy the compression devices and create the anastomosis. This system has the potential to provide faster and less expensive treatments for chronic diseases and reduce the time and pain associated with palliative treatments for diseases like cancer.

A patent application titled "Mechanism To Create Enterotomy Between One Or More Compression Devices" has been published online by the US Patent and Trademark Office. The patent application, filed by inventors from G.I. Windows Inc., describes an apparatus and method for minimally-invasive formation of anastomoses within the body. The invention aims to provide faster and less expensive treatments for chronic diseases such as obesity and diabetes, as well as reduce the time and pain associated with palliative treatments for diseases like cancer. The apparatus includes a delivery device and an expandable and contractible control member that can align and capture compression anastomosis devices. The control member can be manipulated to dilate or contract an enterotomy, and a piercing device may be used to create a deployment channel between two lumens. The patent application provides various embodiments and claims for the invention. [Extracted from the article]

In various embodiments, the securement member may be capable of capturing a formed enterotomy between the member's distal and proximal ends and holding the compression anastomosis device in place until it is mated with a second compression anastomosis device. "In an alternative embodiment, an apparatus for assisting with the placement and securement of a compression anastomosis device comprises a limiting member, capable in some embodiments of capturing a pair of compression anastomosis devices between the member's proximal and distal ends.
