About tracheal stenosis

Limitation in stenosis treatment

A complication of a segmental tracheal resection is that an anastomotic stricture may develop. These strictures are usually related to excessive tension at the anastomosed site. A restenosis after segmental resection is difficult to treat.

Restenosis after segmental resection

A long-segment (> 5 cm) (laryngo)tracheal stenosis and a combined posterior glottic and subglottic stenosis are also difficult to treat with segmental resection.

Long-segment stenosis	Combined posterior glottic and subglottic stenosis

We developed a NEW RECONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUE to treat a restenosis, a long-segment stenosis and a combined posterior glottic and subglottic stenosis.
