title: Effect of enteric biopsy closure orientation on enteric circumference and volume of saline needed for leak testing.
abstract: This study describes the effect of enteric biopsy closure orientation on circumference and volume of saline needed for leak testing. There were significant differences in circumference measurements at baseline, central circumference of longitudinally closed sites, and volume of saline for leak testing.
