Popis: Two types of suture techniques have been compared in anastomoses of the distal colon in 20 mongrel dogs. They were divided into four groups, each consisting of five dogs. In A and C groups a single layer suture technique, and in B and D groups a two layer suture technique was used. In order to determine tissue hydroxyproline activities at the suture lines, the anastomosed segments were resected on the fifth day in A and B, and on the tenth day in C and D groups. It was observed that the hydroxyproline activities in single layer anastomoses were higher than those of two layer anastomoses with the implication that there was more rapid wound healing.
