While slide tracheoplasty is often preferred for its larger luminal diameter and reduced anastomotic tension, its mechanical integrity relative to end\u2010to\u2010end repair remains incompletely characterized. This study aimed to compare tensile strength and elastic properties between the two repair techniques in an ex\u00a0vivo porcine model.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Porcine tracheas were harvested, bisected, and reattached using either end\u2010to\u2010end anastomosis or slide tracheoplasty. Tensile testing was performed to a maximum load of 45\u2009N using a uniaxial testing system. Load at failure, stress\u2013strain behavior, and Young's modulus were calculated. Survival analysis was performed using the log\u2010rank test to compare construct integrity between groups. Negative and positive pressure testing was performed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Seventy\u2010five percent of slide tracheoplasty samples failed under tension, with a median failure load of 32.96\u2009N, whereas none (0%) of the end\u2010to\u2010end repairs failed within the 45\u2009N test limit (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.0401). At equivalent strain, slide tracheoplasty constructs demonstrated lower stress compared with end\u2010to\u2010end anastomoses. Young's modulus was similarly reduced in the slide group.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Slide tracheoplasty constructs demonstrated lower tensile strength and stiffness than end\u2010to\u2010end repairs, suggesting that the redistribution of mechanical forces across a larger surface area reduces localized stress but limits overall load\u2010bearing capacity. This broader force dispersion may protect the anastomotic site from focal tension and dehiscence but results in susceptibility to elongation or deformation under chronic strain. These mechanical considerations are important for surgeons when selecting a repair technique and ensuring long\u2010term postoperative airway stability.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n
