Therapeutic improvement of colonic anastomotic healing under complicated conditions: A systematic review

Figure 1 Flow diagram of the identified and selected studies. BPR: Bursting pressure; BST: Breaking strength; AL: Anastomotic leakage.

Figure 2 Number of studies included, divided into the 7 models of complicated anastomotic wound healing.

Figure 3 Forest plots of the bursting pressure in mmHg. The results of the meta-analysis for A: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) at days 4-5 in ischemic models (confer, Table 1); B: Granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) at days 3 and 7 in chemotherapeutic models (confer, Table 5).
