RESUMO

In dogs, comparative experimental studies of the different types of sutures for the synthesis of the main bronchus are scarce, when not all available in this species. Furthermore, there are possible complications due to the poor healing of the bronchus. The objective of this study was to perform an experimental study to be compared under the pathological-anatomic, parametric, radiological and bronchoscopic point of views, the manual and mechanical sutures in the main bronchus after left pneumonectomy in dogs. Eighteen adult mongrel, healthy dogs, both male and female, were utilized weighing from 9 to 27.5 kg. The dogs were submitted to a selective intubation and left thorax incision in the 5 th intercostal space where a pneumonectomy was performed. Were separated into 2 groups of 9 dogs according to the type of suture employed: Group A - a manual suture of the main left bronchial stump with separate stitches "in 8" with polypropylene 5-O; Group B - a mechanical suture of main left bronchial stump with a mechanical stapler, model TL-30 arranged in a double file. Each group was subdivided into 3 subgroups of 3 animals and a temporal postoperative study was established at 7, 15 and 36 days where an pathological-anatomic evaluation was made on the healing of the manual and mechanical sutures as well as a parametric evaluation (before the induction of anesthesia, immediately after the final surgical act, 48 hours, 7, 15 and 36 days after the surgical procedure), radiological evaluation (24 hours before and with 7, 15 and 36 days after the surgical procedure), and bronchoscopic evaluation (after the induction of anesthesia and with, 7, 15 and 36 days after the surgical procedure), considered important to evaluate possible complications due to this type of surgical procedure. These evaluations were made according to the temporal study in the subgroups. The parametric evaluation was made through the mensuration of temperature, hematocrit, hemoglobin, heart and respiratory rate. During the histopathological evaluation, the intensity of inflammation, fibrosis, neoformed vessels, and the presence or absence of granulation tissue, foreign body reaction and necrosis were evaluated qualitatively and semi-quantitatively. The results found were analyzed statistically. Although the difference observed in the parametric evaluations, all the dogs showed good recovery postoperative. Regarding the histopathologic analysis, foreign body reaction occured in the left bronchial stump in 88,9% of the dogs submitted to a manual suture and in none of the dogs submitted to a mechanical suture. There is still, significant statistical difference in the dogs in Groups A and B in relation to the intensity of the inflammation, the greatest intensity being in the dogs submitted to the manual suture. The results obtained showed that there was no significant statistical difference in the radiographic and bronchoscopic evaluations between Groups A and B. No intercurrences were observed in the trans and postoperative period. It is concluded that both types of sutures brought an adequate healing of the main left bronchial stump, although there was a greater intensity of inflammation and a greater occurence of foreign body reaction in the dogs submitted to the manual suture, permitting satisfactory parametric, radiological and bronchoscopic postoperative evolution and there is no difference in all of the dogs in Groups A and B.
