Magnamosis for rectal reconstruction in canines

Figure 5 Masson staining of the anastomosis specimens. A: At one month after the operation, the anastomosis of the magnamosis group exhibited an intact mucosa; however, the submucosal and muscular continuity were subpar; B: The anastomosis of the suturing anastomosis group at 1 month postoperatively showed poor mucosal, submucosal and muscular continuity with disorganized fiber arrangement; C: The anastomosis of the magnamosis group at 3 months postoperatively showed good fiber arrangement; D: The anastomosis of the suturing anastomosis group at 3 months postoperatively. The submucosal fiber arrangement was improved, but the muscular layer was separated; E: The anastomosis of the magnamosis group at 6 months postoperatively showed that the fiber arrangement was accurate; F: The anastomosis of the suturing anastomosis group at 6 months postoperatively. The submucosal fiber arrangement healed well without continuous muscular layer.
