Bronchial stump closure with amniotic membrane in animal model
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND Coverage of the bronchial stumps (BSs) with adjacent tissues can improve healing and reduce bronchial complications in complex thoracic surgery. There is no evidence for the application of human amnion allograft for prevention of air leak from the BS. The comparison of the amniotic membrane (AM) and pleural patch for BS healing after lobectomy in dogs was our aim in this study. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of eight males and females 12-24-month-old dogs between 17 and 22 kg body-weight were used in this study in 2010, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. Animals were separated into two groups: group A (n = 4; amniotic membrane) and group P (n = 4; pleural patch) according to the BS closure technique performed. After lobectomy of the right middle lobe, the BS was closed, while a small bronchopleural fistula (BPF) was created by inserting a catheter via edges of closed stump. Then, it was covered with a piece of AM3 × 3 cm in group A and with a pedicle graft of pleura in group P. Rethoracotomy was performed after 15 days of observation, and the BS was removed for histological examination. Histological healing was classified as complete or incomplete healing. Neoangiogenesis was measured by Von Willebrand expression using immunohistochemistry (IHC). Data were analyzed by SPSS version 15 using Fisher's exact test, Mann-Whitney test, and T tests. RESULTS BPF complications were not seen during observation period. There was no significant difference in histological healing between two groups. Similarly, no significant difference was observed between the groups in terms of neoangiogenesis based on IHC examination (P value = 0.69). CONCLUSION Human amnion allograft could be as effective as pleural patch for BS wrapping following pulmonary resections.

Objective: The invention of the mechanical suture of the bronchial stump resulted in the signi®cant decrease of the incidence of bronchial ®stulas. Bronchial ®stula constitutes the most dangerous complication of the pulmonary resection. In connection with some negative opinions in world literature regarding the safety of applying some types of mechanical suture, the multi-factor analysis of ef®...

OBJECTIVE To compare the resistance of manual suture with that of mechanical suture immediately after the suture of the left bronchial stump of dogs submitted to pneumonectomy. METHODS A total of 15 mixed-breed dogs of both genders, each weighing between 8 and 23 kg, were randomly divided into 2 groups. In group I (n = 7), the bronchial stump was sutured manually (the Sweet method) and, in gr...

pneumonectomy and co-factors. The manual closure seems to be the more preferable method in high-risk patients. An additive support suture following stapling on the bronchial stump did not decrease the risk of BPF. Deschamps et al. [7] analysed factors affecting the incidence of empyema and BPF after pneumonectomy in 713 patients who underwent pneumonectomy for different conditions. Univariate a...
