The aim of this study was to determine whether microsurgical anastomosis can restore propagation of jejunal pacesetter potentials (PPs) across a site of canine jejunal transection and preserve motility and transit in bowel distal to the transection. A complete jejunal transection with exact microsurgical anastomosis was performed in five dogs, while five dogs with intact jejunum and five dogs with complete transection and end-to-end conventional macrosurgical anastomosis were used as controls. Long-term recording electrodes and intraluminal, open-tipped pressure catheters were implanted in all dogs. The mean frequency of PPs decreased distal to the transection in both groups of transected dogs. However, aborad propagation of PPs across the anastomosis occurred episodically by 3 months in each dog that had a microsurgical anastomosis, but never occurred in any dog with a conventional macroanastomosis. Moreover, the motility and transit in bowel distal to the transection were unaltered in the dogs with a microsurgical anastomosis, whereas they decreased in the dogs with a macroanastomosis. The conclusion was that microsurgical anastomosis of transected canine jejunum restored episodic propagation of PPs across the anastomosis, and preserved motility and maintained transit in bowel distal to the anastomosis. The conventional macroanastomosis did none of these.
