Four tracheal rings were removed from each dog. In the experimental group, two “Z” shape tracheoplastic anastomoses were performed on each dog, one on the anterior wall and the other on the membranous part of the trachea. In the control group, each dog received only simple end to end anastomosis. Vicryl 3-0 absorbable suture and OB fibrin glue were used for both groups. All dogs were killed when their body weight doubled. Results The average sagittal stenotic ratio were 1.20±0.12 for the experimental group and 0.83±0.05 for the control group. The average cross sectional area stenotic ratio were 0.90±0.12 and 0.69±0.09 and T values were 8.71 and 4.57 for the two groups (P< 0.01). Conclusion “Z” shape tracheoplasty is superior to simple end to end anastomosis in preventing anastomotic stricture of canine trachea.展开更多
