Figure 4 Applications of the newly created isolated cecal pouch model. A: One-week post-operative surgical re-entry confirmed no fecal contamination of the cecal pouch membrane surface; B: An artificial ulcerative lesion was created on the surface of the pouch membrane; C: Microscopic photograph indicating that cultured small intestinal epithelial cells could be applied to an ulcerative lesion on the cecal pouch membrane.
