Electrical field stimulation promotes anastomotic healing in poorly perfused rat colon.

Int J Colorectal Dis 26(3):339-44 (2011) PMID 20809425

Hypoperfusion of the bowel is a risk factor for anastomotic failure. Electrical field stimulation has been shown to improve repair in ischemic tissue, but its influence in hypoperfused colon has not been investigated. The hypothesis of this experimental animal study was that electrical field stimulation improves anastomotic healing in ischemic bowel.
