Tracheal Resection for Symptomatic Tracheal Stenosis During Pregnancy

Tracheal Reconstruction for Comlex Acute Tracheal Stenosis

Tracheal stenosis refers to a reduction in the size of the tracheal lumen and can be due to a myriad of reasons, but the most common remains trauma. In iatrogenic situations, internal trauma is the most likely culprit, resulting from prolonged intubation. Our case reviews a patient who developed severe tracheal stenosis (90% reduction in lumen size) within a month of a threeday- long intubation...

Surgical treatment for patients with tracheal and subgllotic stenosis

  Abstract   Background: Iatrogenic airway injury after endotracheal intubation and tracheotomy   remains a serious clinical problem. In this study we reviewed post-intubation and traumatic tracheal stenosis in 47 patients with a special attention to the cause, hense surgical treatment of the stenosis was performed and the results compared with the literatures.   Methods: Since February 1995 th...

Resection of the stenotic segment with individually tailored anastomosis for symptomatic congenital tracheal stenosis in infants.

OBJECTIVES To analyse retrospectively population-based results of congenital tracheal stenosis (CTS) repair in infants in Finland. METHODS Data on infants who were operated on for CTS in Helsinki Children's Hospital between August 1988 and May 2013 were analysed retrospectively. Fibreoptic bronchoscopy was performed perioperatively and in follow-up of all the surviving patients. The median fo...

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

Primary tracheal adenocystic carcinoma and tracheal tumors during pregnancy

Cancer complicates approximately 0.1% of all pregnancies. Primary tracheal carcinoma is one of very rarely seen tumors and the rate of its being seen makes up approximately % 0.2 of all tumors of respiratory tract. The patient, 28 years old, who has 28-weeks-pregnant, was diagnosed with primary tracheal adenocystic carcinoma. Patient was made operation as thoracotomy and tracheal tumor was remo...
