Simple Interrupted Sutures in Anastomosis of Tracheal Stenosis without Using Multiple Hemostats: Introducing a New Technique and Review of Articles

Introduction: Tracheal stenosis may have congenital or acquired causes. Depending on the severity of the stenosis and its symptoms, the right treatment is selected. Sometimes resection of the stenotic segment and anastomosis of the two ends is the therapeutic option. There are several techniques for anastomosis. Methods: In this article, while reviewing articles on how the sutures are used in the tracheal anastomosis, we explain the method applied in this study to use simple interrupted sutures without the use of multiple hemostats. Results: An adapted and simplified suturing technique is described which has been successfully implemented in 30 patients. Conclusion: End-to-end anastomosis using "simple interrupted sutures without using multiple hemostats", has minimal complexity and stress for the surgical group with similar results.
