Abstract

This video describes the detailed protocol for intestinal resection in a murine model. This technique provides insights into ileectomy-induced bile malabsorption, overaccumulation, and toxicity in the mouse intestine.

Protocol

1. Ileectomy and Anastomosis Anesthetize mice with isoflurane (2 – 3%) in a small animal incubation chamber. Determine adequate anesthetization using the toe pinch technique while the animal is on isoflurane. Remove abdominal hair by applying hair removal products and wipe hair away using surgical sponges while maintaining anesthesia. Place the mouse on a temperature-controlled small animal surgical table (Figure 1A) to maintain body temperature at 37 °C. Maint…

Representative Results

Figure 1: Surgery Procedures of Ileectomy. (A) Maintain body temperature using a temperature-controlled small animal surgical table. (B) Cover the surgery area with sterile gauzes after abdominal skin preparation. (C) Expose the small intestine through a midline abdominal incision. (D) Cecum (highlighted by the white dashed line) is marked to locate the ileum. Expose the ileum (yellow…
