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...
متن کاملAdvances in Tracheal Reconstruction
SUMMARY A recent revival of global interest for reconstruction of long-segment tracheal defects, which represents one of the most interesting and complex problems in head and neck and thoracic reconstructive surgery, has been witnessed. The trachea functions as a conduit for air, and its subunits including the epithelial layer, hyaline cartilage, and segmental blood supply make it particularly ...
متن کاملSalvage of Critical Tracheal Stenosis Post-tracheal Reconstruction
Tracheal resection and primary anastomosis is the treatment of choice for a short-segment stenosis. However, the procedure does carry the risk of two potentially fatal complications: Anastomotic breakdown and anastomotic leak. We describe a case of 24-year-old man who was treated for a 4 to 5 cm tracheal stenosis secondary to a prolonged intubation and tracheostomy after organophosphorus poisio...
متن کاملTracheal reconstruction using tissue-engineered cartilage.
OBJECTIVES To determine whether rabbit cartilage can be tissue engineered using a polyglycolic acid (PGA) construct composed of PGA mesh, autologous chondrocytes, and alginate covalently linked with the cell adhesion sequence arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD), and to investigate the feasibility of reconstructing tracheal defects using the PGA construct in conjunction with a bioabsorbable int...
متن کاملTracheal reconstruction without the use of grafts.
Bronchial anastomosis is now a practicable procedure. It was first successfully performed in dogs and reported by Jackson, Lafkin, Tuttle, and Hampton (1949), and in that same year Tuttle described the first successful anastomosis in the human subject after accidental division of a major bronchus. Later reports followed (Mathey and Oustrieres, 1951), and tne healing properties of the bronchial ...
