Abstract
This report describes a technique to implant bipolar electrodes into t he rat bowel. We implanted a total of 129 pairs of bipolar electrodes into the bowel of rats. 124 pairs of electrodes (96.3%) have continuou sly functioned allowing repeated myoelectrical readings. Of these, 69 electrodes functioned over 8 weeks. Only 5 electrodes (3.7%) failed. T he advantage of our technique includes: (1) high success rate in impla ntation, (2) long term durability, and (3) less technical difficulty.
