Comparison of different bronchial closure techniques following pneumonectomy in dogs

Abstract: The comparison of the histologic healing and bronchopleural fistula (BPF) complications encountered with three different BS closure techniques (manual suture, stapler and manual suture plus tissue flab) after pneumonectomy in dogs was investigated for a one-month period. The dogs were separated into two groups: group I (GI) (n = 9) and group II (GII) (n = 9). Right and left pneumonectomies were performed on the animals in GI and GII, respectively. Each group was further divided into three subgroups according t… Show more

“…Additionally, the tip of the bronchial stump is often oversewn for added security against air leakage. 21,22 Stapling devices are used by approximating the edges of the bronchial stump and the associated vessels, and applying the staples transversely, thus allowing simultaneous vessel and bronchus ligation and, hence, significantly reducing surgical time. Stapling devices are widely reported to be safe and effective, and are associated with minimal perioperative complications.…”

“…In human medicine, prolonged air leakage is the most common complication after pulmonary resection and is mainly due to bronchopleural fistula 6 . This complication was unlikely in our case, as it rarely occurs within the first 48 hours and has never been reported in clinical reports in veterinary medicine, only in an experimental study 5,7 …”

“…In dogs, Salci et al. compared three different bronchial closure techniques (manual suture, stapler and manual suture plus tissue flab) after pneumonectomy, and no difference in outcome was found, especially in terms of histological healing and risk for bronchofistula 7 . Even within stapler‐using lobectomies, different techniques have been described.…”

“…Therefore, early diagnosis and selection of appropriate treatment methods are life-saving. Risk factors for BPF formation include severe devascularization of the bronchial stump or anastomotic line during resection, leaving a long stump, presence of residual tumor tissue in the stump, neoadjuvant therapies, steroid use, presence of diabetes mellitus, early postoperative pneumonia or empyema, and prolonged postoperative mechanical ventilation [4][5][6] .…”
