Mechanical Insights into Slide Tracheoplasty Versus End-to-End Anastomosis: An Ex Vivo Porcine Model Analysis
This study compares the mechanical properties of slide tracheoplasty and end-to-end anastomosis in porcine tracheas, revealing lower tensile strength but greater force dispersion in slide tracheoplasty, with implications for airway reconstruction choices.
