Bowel obstructions were defined as a colon distended more than two times its normal diameter proximal to the anastomosis and tapering to a normal diameter distal to the anastomosis. Rats with a collagen fleece showed a significantly higher incidence of bowel obstructions than the control group (14/21 vs. 3/20, P = 0.003)
