metamizol anastomosis

BACKGROUND: Leakage following colorectal anastomosis surgery causes various complications associated with high morbidity and mortality, especially in pediatric patients. It might be caused by the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) as postoperative analgesics. This study aimed to compare the effect of metamizole and paracetamol on colonic anastomosis and fibroblast activities, including proliferation, migration, and collagen synthesis, in Wistar rats. METHODS: Rats were divided into control, paracetamol and metamizole groups...

PURPOSE: We performed an experimental study in a rabbit model to investigate the effects of a selective Cox-2 inhibitor (Valdecoxib) on anastomotic healing following large bowel resection after 1 week. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eighty New Zealand white rabbits were randomized into four groups and underwent a colon resection with end-to-end anastomosis. Group 1 (n = 20) was treated with Valdecoxib, group 2 with Metamizole (Novalgin), group 3 with Resveratrol (specific Cox-1 inhibitor), or a placebo vehicle with similar volume (group 4)...
