Each trachea underwent end-to-end annular ligament anastomosis using a simple continuous pattern with a 4/0 polypropylene suture on a round-body needle. In one immature group, three additional simple interrupted tensionrelieving sutures were placed. The samples were tested with a tensiometer set at a drop head speed of 50 mm/min, and failure during distraction was defined by tissue pull-through or suture material failure. The force and elongation at failure were compared among groups.  \nResults Tracheal anastomoses in immature cats failed at lower mean forces (11 .49 ± 1.30 N) compared with those with tension-relieving sutures and with adult cats (19 .74 ± 4.55 N and 18.02 ± 1.28 N, respectively) (P \u003C0.001) . Tracheae from both immature groups sustained greater mean elongation (46 .60 ± 0.06% and 46.53 ± 0.06%) compared with those from the adult group (33 .85 ± 0. 11%) (P = 0.017 and 0.09, respectively) .  \nConclusions and relevance Tracheal anastomoses with tension-relieving sutures in immature cats and anastomoses in adult cats showed greater resistance compared with immature cats without tension-relieving sutures . Tracheae from immature cats showed greater elasticity compared with adult cats. Immature cats may resist longer tracheal resection than adult cats, but reinforcement techniques are necessary to improve resistance to tension.  \nKeywords: Trachea; anastomosis; distraction to failure; elongation  \nAccepted: 24 October 2025  \nIntroduction  \nTracheal resection and anastomosis (TRA) are seldom performed in cats.1–3 In cats, indications for TRA include removing tracheal masses, repairing tracheal ruptures or avulsions, and correcting tracheal stenoses.2–4 Tracheal resections and anastomoses have been documented in both immature and adult cats.3,5–8 The surgical goal is to achieve a precise apposition of the tracheal ends with minimal tension at the anastomosis site, thereby promoting rapid healing and a low complication rate.4,9 The extent of tracheal resection depends on the lesion’s location and the animal’s age.9 Extensive resections may  \n1Department of Clinical Sciences, School of Veterinary Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece  \n2School of Chemistry, Faculty of Sciences, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece  \n3Clinic of Cardiothoracic Surgery, School of Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece  \nCorresponding author:  \nLysimachos G Papazoglou DVM, PhD, MRCVS, Department of Clinical Sciences, School of Veterinary Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 11 Voutyra Street, Thessaloniki, 54645, Greece  \n[Email: makdvm@vet.auth.gr](Email: makdvm@vet.auth.gr)  \nCreative Commons Non Commercial CC BY-NC: This article is distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 License ([https:/","cbCaiqr4R22gmN0M","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqr4R22gmN0M","pdf",781436,"English","# Abstract\n## Objectives\n## Methods\n## Results\n## Conclusions and relevance\n# Introduction\n# Materials and methods","[{\"question\":\"What was the study’s main objective?\",\"answer\":\"To assess how age influences the ability of tracheal anastomoses in cats to resist distraction.\"},{\"question\":\"How were the tracheal anastomoses created and tested?\",\"answer\":\"Tracheae from immature and adult cats were fashioned into end-to-end anastomoses using specified suture patterns and then tested with a tensiometer at a defined distraction speed to identify failure.\"},{\"question\":\"What did the results show about immature versus adult cats?\",\"answer\":\"Immature cats showed lower failure forces and greater elongation at failure compared with adult cats; tension-relieving sutures changed failure resistance patterns.\"}]","Effect of age on resistance to distraction after trachealanastomoses with two suture patterns in cats | PDF",1790618621,18]
