Colonic-trigonal anastomosis was performed in 12 healthy adult mongrel dogs (five males and seven females). Samples of the colonic-trigonal anastomosis were collected for biopsy at 30 and 60 days after surgery. Histologic evaluation revealed a mononuclear inflammatory infiltrate in the area of anastomosis and also invasion of the transition epithelium onto the intestinal mucosa. These findings indicated that colonic-trigonal anastomosis is a simple and efficient procedure for primary bladder repair. Furthermore, the technique preserve the renal and vesical functions.
