  • Title: Functional evaluation of colon transplants used in esophageal reconstruction.
    Author: Corazziari E, Mineo TC, Anzini F, Torsoli A, Ricci C.
    Journal: Am J Dig Dis; 1977 Jan; 22(1):7-12. PubMed ID: 835547.
    Abstract:
    Studies were performed on the mechanical activity of iso- and antiperistaltic colon segments used to replace the esophagus. Transplants were challenged with a semiliquid bolus and/or a 0.1 N HCl solution, considered as common stimuli for an in situ esophagus, and the mechanical activity was investigated by means of synchronized manometric and cinefluorographic recordings. Basal activity of the interposed colon was limited to occasional monophasic waves of the segmenting type; the acid solution and the semiliquid bolus constantly elicited a peristaltic motor response transporting the contents to the gastric fundus or, in antiperistaltic colon, from the distal to the proximal part.
