resuture

I call in a surgical consultant to see about taking her back to the OR to resuture the incision, but I am worried about the jaundiced yellow tinge to her eyes-an indication of probably liver dysfunction.

After 48 hours' acclimatisation, animals were randomised to receive either 90% proximal small bowel resection (as measured from the ligament of Treitz) or jejunal transection and resuture (controls).

Resuture of the stoma edge will be followed inevitably by recurrent bleeding and we have found that the therapeutic options are either a portosystemic shunt, if liver function is well preserved, or transplantation.
