Despite the Effects of Tension and Intraluminal Pressure, Which Suture Technique Is the Most Appropriate for Prevention of Air Leakage or Anastomotic Dehiscence in Tracheal Anastomoses in the Short Term? An Experimental Research on Ex Vivo Model.

CONCLUSION: The most reliable and advantageous is single-stitch technique for a tracheal anastomosis in short-term results. Further studies are needed to analyze longer ventilation periods in terms of other serious complications as ischemic dehiscence and stenosis. PMID: 31189774 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
