The preparation of tissues and experimentation was performed on September 17 and 18, 2024. Two-cm enterotomy incisions were made on the antimesenteric border and closed with a simple continuous suture pattern, leaving a 3-mm gap at the end of each closure. The randomly assigned solution was infused into each segment until leakage from the enterotomy gap was detected. Likert scores rating the ease of visibility of leakage detected by 1 of 2 observers, time to observed leakage, and volume infused were recorded.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sc_a3\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>No statistical difference in Likert scores, time, or volume was detected among treatment groups.
