Figures
- Figure 1
- Images of trachea during the first and second surgery. A) The tracheal incision sutured one by one with a 6/0 polyglactin (absorbable) sutures. B) Tracheal fragment excised one cm above and below the tracheal incision. The anastomotic line appears intact.
- Figure 2
- Hematoxylin & eosin (H&E) and Masson’s trichrome staining (MTC) of the anastomosis line. Asterisks denote the suture materials and arrows denote the wound healing zone.

Ehrlich/Hunt numerical scale: “0” for absence; “1” for occasional presence; “2” for light scattering; “3” for abundance; and “4” for confluence of cells or fibers.5 Epithelial regeneration: “0” no epithelium; “1” single-layer epithelium with a partial closure; and “2” stratified epithelium with complete closure (according to Loewen’s study).6
