Comparison of the effects of the interposition of 'narrow' cycloperistaltic v. antiperistaltic segments on fluid perfusion through isolated loops of jejunum.

Experimental studies in dogs showed a delaying action of the cycloperistaltic (C-P) segment when interposed in isolated loops of jejunum ('narrow' C-P segments) and between stomach and duodenum after Billroth I gastrectomies ('wide' C-P segments). This study was designed to establish whether there were any differences in the delaying action on the passage of perfused fluids between isolated loops of jejunum with C-P and antiperistaltic (A-P) segments interposed. The latter is the surgical technique that is currently considered the gold standard for such actions. Two isolated segments of jejunum with the ends exteriorised as jejunostomies (Thiry-Vella (T-V) loops) were created in each of 4 dogs. Towards the end of one, a C-P segment with a diameter 70% that of the jejunum ('narrow' C-P segment) was interposed. Towards the end of the other, a reversed A-P segment was interposed. Fluid containing 14C-labelled polyethylene glycol was infused at a rate of 4 ml/min through all the 8 loops (4 dogs) for 1 hour (6 experiments per dog). Descriptive statistics (means and standard errors) show that no obvious differences in volume of output, absorption and pooling existed between T-V loops with 'narrow' C-P and A-P segments. The delaying effect in the passage of fluids of the C-P segment, shown in previous experiments, does not appear to be superior to that of the A-P segment. This statement is made with some reservation as the number of animals involved was relatively small and analytical statistics could not be used.
