BACKGROUND Post intubation long segment tracheal stenosis is a serious problem which usually requires multiple methods of treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of surgical treatment in long segment post intubation tracheal stenosis. METHODS Between 2004 to 2008, 20 patients with proximal long segment tracheal stenosis and resection of over 40% of tracheal length, were a...

PURPOSE When tracheal intubation is required in a patient with an uncollapsible tracheal stenosis, the tip of the tube is usually positioned proximal to the stenosis. Only the tip of the tube may be in the trachea and the tube can be dislodged. We report the successful airway management of a patient with an uncollapsible tracheal stenosis who underwent cranial surgery in the prone position. C...

Background: High-frequency ultrasound (HFU) is non-invasive and non-radiative technique, which has high resolution and can be easily used in follow up. The aim of this paper is to investigate the imaging characteristics and application of high-frequency ultrasound in the detection of benign cervical tracheal stenosis. Methods: A total of 23 patients who underwent bronchoscopy which proved benig...

Pediatric tracheal stenosis includes a variety of entities characterized by a diminished airway lumen. Congenital entities can be classified into (i) intrinsic disease caused by short(e.g. tracheal webs) or long-segment forms of tracheal stenosis (e.g. tracheal atresia/agenesis and primary tracheomalacia) and (ii) extrinsic disease caused by cardiovascular anomalies such as vascular rings and/o...

Background: Tracheal stenosis is the obstruction of airway and need a proper diagnosis, management treatment approach. Objective: To diagnose manage repair tracheal stenosis. Study Design: Comparative analytical study Place Duration Study: Department Thoracic Surgery, Sandeman Provincial Hospital Quetta from 1st July 2020 to 30th June 2021. Methodology: Forty seven patients were divided into tw...

Introduction: For tracheal stenosis, tracheal resection and anastomosis is widely considered the treatment of choice. However, this surgical approach is not feasible when the glottis and subglottis are involved or in patients with a poor general condition and tracheal stents are a plausible means of providing a permanent or temporary airway opening. Objectives: Evaluate the features and the res...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the treatment, perioperative management, and outcome of infants who underwent repair of congenital tracheal stenosis. We hypothesized that early resection and tracheoplasty with early weaning of ventilatory support results in less mucosal injury, and thus better outcome. DESIGN Retrospective study from 1986 to 1996. SETTING Tertiary care children's hospital. PATIENTS...
