Abstract: Resection and end-to-end anastomosis of the trachea represent the preferred treatment for various benign and malignant diseases involving the trachea. Various studies have reported conflicting results with alternative techniques and suture materials for tracheal anastomosis. Our objective was to evaluate three frequently used techniques concerning stenosis rate and histological reaction in a large-animal species. Tracheal resection of 3 cm and end-to-end anastomosis were performed in 15 sheep with the use of t… Show more

“…With respect to the development of anastomosis stenosis in an animal study, we have recently proven with the aid of the same three suturing techniques and materials that today, material and technique play a secondary role compared to other factors [32]. The results of this study now reveal that with respect to the mechanical load resistance, continuous sutures are of advantage.…”

“…A study on sheep tracheas by Behrend and Klepnauer 19 indicated the increased tension on the suture line was associated with a higher incidence of restenosis, which is a common late complication of tracheal anastomosis. …”

“…Behrend and Klempnauer used three types of suture material (polypropylene, polydioxanone and polyglactin) in tracheal surgery in sheep. 14 The results were similar in all three groups but it was noted that the suture material should be of high tensile strength and should not be absorbed in under six months. The authors concluded that the technical details (especially tension) are more important than the choice of suture material for postoperative results.…”
