Histopathology photographs of experimental intestinal anastomosis in goat, SSIS group. (a) Organized thrombus in the anastomosis site on 4th POD (thin arrow) and new blood vessels (thick arrow), H&E stain, ×10. (b) On 14th POD: granulation tissue infiltrated with lymphocytes in the serosa and submucosa, new blood vessels (thin arrows), and epithelial cells (thick arrow), H&E stain, ×10. On 21st POD, (c) anastomotic line completely filled with scar tissue (thin arrow), scant fibroblasts, lymphocytes, epithelial cells, intestinal glands, and crypts of Lieberkühn (thick arrow), H&E ×20. (d) Long villi and microvilli (arrow) lined the intestinal mucosa, H&E stain, ×40.
