Abstract:
The development of a new rabbit model for study of neovascularization of the jejunal graft is described. The relationship between stripping of the serosal membrane and the speed of the neovascularization process was analyzed. The results demonstrate that the visceral peritoneum acts like a physical barrier, retarding the formation of the new nutrient blood supply from recipient bed to the jejunal graft.
