It is unclear whether massive small bowel resection (SBR) affects prostaglandin E-2 synthesis in the gastrointestinal tracts. Thus the aim of this study was to investigate possible changes over tissue levels of prostaglandin E-2 in the stomach and ileum after massive proximal SBR. Female Swiss-Albino rats underwent control operation (groups 1, 3, 5) or an 80% SBR (groups 2, 4, 6). The specimens were obtained during relaparotomy at 3 days in groups 1 and 2, at 9 days in groups 3 and 4, at 15 days in groups 5 and 6.
