“…Blanchard and others (1986) performed resection and anastomosis of 14 tracheal rings in puppies (35–38% of total tracheal length). When greater lengths are resected, a range of techniques have been described such as further mobilisation of adjacent tracheal segments, application of tension‐relieving sutures (Fingland and others 1995) and a fibrocollagen‐coated mersylene patch (Villegas‐Alvarez and others 2014). However, even when employing these techniques, complication rates increase with larger resections.…”

Vet Record Case Reports

A six-month-old neutered male German shepherd dog/husky cross was presented for investigation of a progressive dyspnoea and regurgitation. A circumferential cervical wound had been identified and closed following debridement by the primary care veterinarian when the dog was three months old. There was an extraluminal tracheal compression on radiographs. Surgical exploration revealed a plastic band tied and embedded in the dorsal musculature of the neck. The band had been increasingly constricting the trachea and the oesophagus ventrally as the animal grew. Segmental tracheal resection and anastomosis and removal of the band and associated scar tissue resulted in sustained resolution of clinical signs.
