Description
Abstract
Collagen pattern in healing anastomosis of
intestinal wall was compared with its normal pattern in
the submucosal layer. Polarization colours were recorded
for thin (0.8 pm or less) and thick (1.6-2.4 pm) collagen
fibres. The polarization colours of thick collagen fibres
in the anastomotic site were more greenish-yellow and
yellow than those in normal intestine which were more
yellowish-orange and orange. These findings indicate
that the collagen in the anastomotic site 4 days after
operation is less packed than the collagen of normal rat
intestine. Examination of the polarization colours of
Picrosirius red-stained sections is a useful procedure to
follow healing of anastomotic sites or diagnosis of
collagen pathology in different pathologic conditions in
the intestinal wall.
