Fig. 2From: Effect of three different needle holders on gastrointestinal anastomosis construction time and bursting pressure in equine jejunal segmentsThe experimental set up to test bursting pressure in end-to-end jejunojejunal anastomoses from equine cadavers. Legend: An irrigation pump with hung fluids coloured with green food dye was connected to one end of the jejunal segment and secured with a zip tie. The other end of the jejunal segment was connected to a blind-ended pressure manometer. The green coloured fluid was progressively pumped into the jejunal lumen whilst intraluminal pressures were recorded until the anastomosis or intestinal segment failedBack to article page
