Abstract:
We report significant improvements in our procedures for preparing and maintaining rats with esophageal fistulas and gastric cannulas. The most important of these are 1) a new cannula assembly, 2) a two-stage surgical procedure, 3) a modified diet, and 4) a less stringent maintenance regimen.
