摘要
To quantitatively analyze the aerodynamic changes in patient's trachea after the resection operation of hyperplastic granulation tissue, computational fluid dynamic (CFD) method was utilized to perform the simulation. Firstly, three dimensional finite element model of the patient’s trachea before and after surgery were reconstructed based on CT images; secondly, the numerical simulation based on CFD method was performed to investigate the changes in aerodynamic changes in patient's trachea after excision. Results indicated that the dyspnea symptom was largely alleviated after the removal surgery, the abnormal morphology was obviously improved and the resistance of trachea was decreased significantly. Present research also demonstrates that CFD methods can be used to quantitatively evaluate the postoperative effects of the granulation tissue resection operation. © 2019 Tech Science Press.
