Core Tip Dexmedetomidine (DEX), a selective α2-adrenergic agonist, significantly enhances anastomotic healing in rat models of colon surgery. Our study demonstrates that perioperative DEX administration improves intestinal barrier integrity by upregulating tight junction proteins (claudin-1/zonula occludens-1), reduces systemic inflammation (suppressed tumor necrosis factor-alpha/diamine oxidase/intestinal fatty acid-binding protein), and increases anastomotic burst pressure. Crucially, we identify activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway as a novel mechanistic driver for DEX-mediated repair. These findings reveal DEX’s dual role in barrier protection and regeneration, supporting its potential as a perioperative adjuvant to mitigate anastomotic leakage risk in abdominal surgery.
