OBJECTIVE

To assess the tracheal elasticity and tracheal anastomosis tension for prevention of anastomosis-related complications and estimation of the maximum length of resection.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

At the first stage, 20 patients with cicatricial tracheal stenosis underwent tracheoscopy in usual position, under maximum flexion and extension of the head for the period from September 2017 to December 2019. We measured the total length of trachea and length of stenotic segment. Tracheal extensibility was assessed considering the difference in measurements. At the second stage, anastomosis tension was intraoperatively measured using a dynamometer in normal head position, as well as at maximum flexion in 22 patients who underwent tracheal resection. Unlike multiple other studies, we studied tissue tension intraoperatively.

RESULTS

Mean length of trachea was 12.8 cm, extensibility — 1.3 cm. Tracheal elasticity was greater in patients with a longer trachea and in patients under 40 years old. Mean length of resection was 3.9 cm (30% of mean length of trachea), anastomosis tension — 2.7 H or 270 g. Head flexion was followed by tension decrease by 0.7 H (26.9%), i.e. 70 g. This approach is less effective in case of resection of more than 30% of trachea length in a particular patient.

CONCLUSION

Further experience in measurement of tracheal extensibility and anastomosis tension will make it possible to establish clinical significance of these indicators for prevention of complications.
