In brief
This study characterizes the mechanical properties of porcine small bowel mesentery to better understand intestinal malrotation and midgut volvulus risk in pediatric patients. Findings on tissue anisotropy and nonlinear behavior may inform surgical decision-making for asymptomatic patients at risk of life-threatening bowel ischemia.
Written by the GCMD Library team from the article.
Intestinal malrotation places pediatric patients at the risk of midgut volvulus, a complication that can lead to ischemic bowel, short gut syndrome, and even death. Even though the treatments for symptomatic patients of this complication are clear, it is still a challenge to identify asymptomatic pa …
