Sacit Gorgul Department of Surgery Faculty of Veterinary Medicine 2Department of Thorax Surgery Faculty of Medicine and department of Pathology Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Uludag University Bursa Turkey The comparison of the histologic healing and bronchopleural fistula BPF complications encountered with three different BS closure techniques manual suture stapler and manual suture plus tissue flab after pneumonectomy in dogs was investigated for a one-month period. The dogs were separated into two groups group I GI n 9 and group II GII n 9 . Right and left pneumonectomies were performed on the animals in GI and GII respectively. Each group was further divided into three subgroups according to BS closure technique subgroup I SGI n 3 manual suture subgroup II SGII n 3 stapler and subgroup III SGIII n 3 manual suture plus tissue flab. The dogs were sacrificed after one month of observation and the bronchial stumps were removed for histological examination. The complications observed during a one-month period following pneumonectomy in nine dogs n 9 were BPF n 5 peri-operative cardiac arrest n 1 post-operative respiratory arrest n 1 post-operative cardiac failure n 1 and cardio-pulmo-nary failure n 1 . Histological healing was classified as complete or incomplete healing. Histological healing and BPF complications in the subgroups were analyzed statistically. There was no significant difference in histological healing between SGI and SGIII p p nor between SGII and SGIII p p . Similarly no significant difference was observed between the subgroups in terms of BPF p p . The results of the statistical analysis indicated that manual suture stapler or manual suture plus tissue flab could be alternative methods for BS closure .
