A method of small bowel mucosal augmentation called ileal mucosal fenestration and colonic autotransplantation (IMFCA) was devised and tested in pigs. In this technique, a vascularized mucosal graft was harvested from a 12-cm ileal loop, fenestrated by serial incision and then expanded to 20 cm. A 20-cm colonic loop was isolated and surgical mucosectomy was carried out. The fenestrated ileal mucosal graft was then autotransplanted into the prepared colon and the resulting composite structure was exteriorized as a Thiry-Vella loop. With this technique, ileal mucosal fenestrations healed by lateral epithelial in-growth, giving a new mucosal continuum within the recipient colon. At 60 days after surgery, the surface area of transplanted mucosa exceeded that within the original ileal loop by approximately 85 per cent. At this time, the transplanted mucosa had morphology and capacity for Na(+)-dependent glucose transport which were indistinguishable from those of control ileal mucosa.
