The Positive Effects of the Human Amniotic Membrane on the Healing of Staple Line After Sleeve Gastrectomy Applied Long-Evans Rat Model.

This study showed that covering of staple line of sleeve gastrectomy model in rats significantly provided higher bursting pressures and increased hydroxyproline levels, fibroblast activity, and neoangiogenesis which may potentially lead a better staple line healing. We think further investigations are needed on this issue.
