Intestinal segment subdivided into subsections in 56-day-old lambs. A segment of small intestine, with intact mesenteric attachment, was surgically isolated in utero during the third trimester of gestation. Subsections of this isolated intestinal segment was re-connected by side-to-side anastomosis to the adjacent small intestine on one and seven days after birth. A portion of the intestinal segment isolated in utero remained separated from the intestinal tract throughout the 56 days post-partum period.
