Pediatric Tracheal Surgery: A 25-Year Review of Slide Tracheoplasty and Tracheal Resection

Tracheal resection associated with slide tracheoplasty for long-segment congenital tracheal stenosis involving the carina.

Clinical outcomes of slide tracheoplasty in congenital tracheal stenosis.

OBJECTIVES Treatment of long-segment congenital tracheal stenosis (CTS) remains challenging. Recently, slide tracheoplasty has become the standard approach in many centres. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of slide tracheoplasty. METHODS Between 2004 and 2011, 18 patients underwent slide tracheoplasty in our centre. The median patient age was 2.5 months (range, 18 d...

Long-segment tracheal stenosis: slide tracheoplasty and a multidisciplinary approach improve outcomes and reduce costs.

OBJECTIVE Long-segment tracheal stenosis is rare, life-threatening, difficult, and expensive to treat. Management remains controversial. A multidisciplinary tracheal team was formed in 2000 to deal with a large number of children with airway problems referred for management. We review the effect of that service, comparing the era before and after the establishment of the multidisciplinary trach...

Successful Treatment of Tracheal Stenosis with Slide Tracheoplasty after the Failure of Resection with End-to-End Anastomosis

The combined effects of inhaled irritant gases and heat in burn patients can result in the development of laryngotracheal strictures. Several factors could adversely affect the development of tracheal stenosis and cause the growth of granulation tissue. Yet the current treatment options for this condition are limited because of the paucity of case reports. We report here on a case of a patient ...

Surgical outcome of slide tracheoplasty in patients with long congenital segment tracheal stenosis and single lung.

OBJECTIVE The aim of the study is to assess the surgical outcome of slide tracheoplasty in patients with congenital tracheal stenosis and single lung. METHODS Pre, intra- and postoperative data were collected. Anatomy and associated anomalies were described. RESULTS Seven patients (median age 5 months; range 39 days-1 year) with single lung underwent slide tracheoplasty. Single right lung w...
