Effects of the ischemic preconditioning on anastomotic healing in laparoscopic colon operations.
Previous experimental studies have repeatedly demonstrated the potential protective effect of remote ischemic preconditioning (IPC) on colon anastomosis. The purpose of this experimental study was to investigate the possible positive effects of IPC by interval insufflations in laparoscopic colon operations. ⋯ Use of IPC with colon anastomosis had positive effects on wound healing and may serve as a safe method to reduce the adverse effects of ischemia and wound healing in laparoscopic colon operations.
