Objectives.
To determine whether early postoperative feeding attenuates the inhibitory effects of intestinal anastomosis in rabbits.
Methods.
After undergoing gastrointestinal anastomosis, 48 rabbits were randomly divided into experimental and control groups.
The rabbits in the experimental group were fed a liquid diet beginning 24 h postoperatively, while the control rabbits received only total parenteral nutrition after the operation.
Exploratory laparotomies were performed on four rabbits in each group 3, 5, 7, 10, and 15 days postoperatively, and the healing rate of the anastomosis, anastomotic bursting pressure, anastomotic breaking strength, and hydroxyproline content at the anastomosis were determined.
Results.
The anastomoses healed in 91.6% (22/24) of the control group and 95.8% (23/24) of the experimental group.
The anastomotic bursting pressure decreased remarkably in both groups 3 days postoperatively, reaching the lowest value.
The anastomotic breaking strength did not differ between the two groups 3 days postoperatively, when both reached their lowest points, and both groups increased markedly and peaked 10 days postoperatively.
The hydroxyproline content of the anastomosis was slightly lower in the experimental group 3 days postoperatively, although both groups peaked 7 days postoperatively.
Conclusions.
Early postoperative feeding does not increase the anastomosis healing time or rate of gastrointestinal anastomosis leakage.
