Light‐activated photosealing with human amniotic membrane strengthens bowel anastomosis in a hypotensive, trauma‐relevant swine model
Abstract
Gastrointestinal anastomotic leakage is a dreaded complication despite advancements in surgical technique. Photochemical tissue bonding (PTB) is a method of sealing tissue surfaces utilizing photoactive dye. We evaluated if crosslinked human amniotic membrane (xHAM) photosealed over the enteroenterostomy would augment anastomotic strength in a trauma‐relevant swine hemorrhagic shock model.
