A new sutureless anastomosis technique employing a sliding absorbable intraluminal nontoxic stent (SAINT) and fibrin glue with limited (minutes) stump margin pressure is described. Fifty-one (27 small intestine, 24 colon) SAINT anastomoses were performed in 31 Landrace pigs (25-35 kg). Controls consisted of 48 (26 small intestine, 22 colon) continuous single-layer submucosal anastomoses in 26 pigs. SAINTs, which dissolve in about 30-60 min, were formed from heated sucrose and water poured into handcrafted aluminum molds. Follow-up from 7 to 540 days showed no stenosis or anastomotic imperfections in the latter part of the experiment after the SAINT production and surgical techniques were improved. The SAINT group had fewer site adhesions, faster healing, less foreign body reaction, and fewer lymphocytes than the control group. Initial results indicate that the SAINT-fibrin glue procedure may be an effective sutureless anastomotic method from the duodenum to the sigmoid colon.

D013552 Swine Any of various animals that constitute the family Suidae and comprise stout-bodied, short-legged omnivorous mammals with thick skin, usually covered with coarse bristles, a rather long mobile snout, and small tail.

D015607 Stents Devices that provide support for tubular structures that are being anastomosed or for body cavities during skin grafting. Stent
D015718 Fibrin Tissue Adhesive An autologous or commercial tissue adhesive containing FIBRINOGEN and THROMBIN. The commercial product is a two component system from human plasma that contains more than fibrinogen and thrombin. The first component contains highly concentrated fibrinogen, FACTOR VIII, fibronectin, and traces of other plasma proteins. The second component contains thrombin, calcium chloride, and antifibrinolytic agents such as APROTININ. Mixing of the two components promotes BLOOD CLOTTING and the formation and cross-linking of fibrin. The tissue adhesive is used for tissue sealing, HEMOSTASIS, and WOUND HEALING.
