The purpose of this study was to create an animal model to study rectovaginal fistula repair.
Fourteen New Zealand white rabbits underwent surgical creation of a rectovaginal fistula. The technique was developed with a pilot study conducted on the first two animals, then standardized and performed on the remaining 12 rabbits. The standardized technique included making a defect in the rectovaginal septum using a 3-mm skin punch then splinting the defect with 6-mm tubing for 2 weeks.
Using the standardized technique, a fistula was successfully created in all 12 rabbits ranging from 1 to 5 mm (mean = 2.8 mm, SD = 1.1). A 95% tolerance interval was calculated for the model and predicted that a successful fistula can be created ranging from 0.3 to 5.2 mm in 85% of attempts with the model.
The New Zealand white rabbit is a promising animal model to study rectovaginal fistula repair.
本研究的目的是创建一个用于研究直肠阴道瘘修复的动物模型。
对14只新西兰白兔进行了直肠阴道瘘的手术造模。该技术在前两只动物上进行了初步研究后得以发展,然后进行标准化并应用于其余12只兔子。标准化技术包括使用3毫米皮肤打孔器在直肠阴道隔上制造缺损,然后用6毫米的导管对缺损进行支撑固定2周。
采用标准化技术,在所有12只兔子中均成功制造出瘘管,瘘管大小在1至5毫米之间(平均 = 2.8毫米,标准差 = 1.1)。为该模型计算了95%的耐受区间,并预测使用该模型在85%的尝试中可成功制造出大小在0.3至5.2毫米之间的瘘管。
新西兰白兔是一种有前景的用于研究直肠阴道瘘修复的动物模型。
