Abstract
A technique of sutureless trachea anastomosis in rabbits using carbon dioxide laser was reported herein. In 6 rabbits with laser-assisted 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.Entities:
