Abstract: | Summary A technique of sutureless trachea anastomosis in rabbits using carbon dioxide laser was reported herein. In 6 rabbits with
laserassisted trachea anastomoses, only one was found to have slight anastomotic stenosis after operation, whereas 6 rabbits
with conventional sutures all were found to have anastomotic stenosis. Results show that laser-assisted trachea anastomosis
has certain advantages over the conventional suturing technique, thereby finding wide application in clinical tracheal reconstruction
and lung transplantation. |
