Abstract

Bilateral ureteral anastomoses were performed on dogs with either chromic catgut, polyglycolic acid (PGA), polyglactin 910 or polypropylene suture. The infusion pressure technique of Whitaker was employed at 4 and 7 months after operation to assess ureteral function. The pressure flow data indicated that ureteral function was best when PGA sutures were used to accomplish the anastomosis. The results of this study suggest that the infusion pressure technique is useful in evaluating ureteral wound healing.
