Isobutyl-2-cyanoacrylate (Group I) and n-butyl-<FONT FACE="Symbol">a</font> -cyanoacrylate (Group II) were tested in two groups of dogs: Group I=13 dogs and Group II=12 dogs that had intestinal laterolateral anastomosis.The anastomosis were avaluated on days: 4, 14 and 28 after surgery. Adhesions between omentum and the surgical wall wound were grossly observed in both groups. Regarding the presence of adhesions comparing the two groups with unpaired t test, the difference between Group I and II is not significant (p=0,3624). Histology revealed inflammation and granuloma on the anastomosis with the adhesive inside of it both with isobutyl-2-cyanoacrylate and n-butyl-<FONT FACE="Symbol">a</font> -cyanoacrylate.
