[The neoformation of intestinal mucosa on dura mater patches. An experimental study in rats]

The technics of growing of small bowel neomucosa is one of the possible surgical therapies for the treatment of the short bowel syndrome. We carried out an experimental study in rats implanting patches and tubes of dura mater in the antimesenteric border of intestine. The growth of normal neomucosa is demonstrated. The animal tolerance to the dura mater patch is established in 3-4 cms. We also have proved that dura mater tubes are inefficacious. The dura mater is a good support for the growth of the small bowel neomucosa; however, it's necessary to prove their utility in the surgical treatment of short bowel syndrome.
