: Iatrogenic tracheoesophageal fistulae (TEF) following tracheostomy is unique in that the tracheal segment involved too long to allow for a tension-free anastomosis traditional TEF repair. Repairing according surgical methods will result complicated procedures and high complications due tension of after removal section trachea or even inability directly anastomosis. Difficulty direct end-to-en...

Prolonged intubations result in tracheal damage and stenosis, the treatment for severe cases is resection anastomosis. With progress of Covid-19 pandemic, this incidence kept rising but timing precautions such aerosolising surgeries remained unclear. To report first case anastomosis India done during pandemic along with its rationale. We a 30/male prolonged intubation tracheostomy pneumonia ARD...

Tracheal resection followed by an end-to-end anastomosis has been the method of choice for the treatment of tracheal neoplasms. We hereby report a 40-year-old female patient in whom we performed reconstruction with composite nasal septal cartilage graft following one-staged tracheal resection. Histopathologic diagnosis was well-differentiated adenoid cystic carcinoma. Fiberoptic and biopsy exam...

Tracheal stenosis is an uncommon but serious complication of prolonged intubation and tracheostomy patients. Treatment is often provided by otorhinolaryngologists or interventional pulmonologists, but because symptoms may not appear for weeks or months after extubation, primary care physicians are frequently the first to encounter this complication. On presentation, tracheal stenosis may be mis...

We present a case of one-stage radical surgical treatment of a 24-year-old female patient with cicatricial granulating tracheal stenosis after tracheostomy complicated by esophageal-tracheal fistula and an extensive defect of the anterior wall of the trachea after numerous unsuccessful attempts to correct the narrowing of the trachea and eliminate the fistula by endoscopic and open surgical tec...

The Montgomery tracheal tube (T-tube) is a device used as a combined tracheal stent and airway after laryngotracheoplasty for patients with tracheal stenosis. This device can present various challenges to anesthesiologists during its placement, including the potential for acute loss of the airway, inadequate administration of inhalation agents, and inadequacy of controlled mechanical ventilatio...

A 66-year-old man presented with acute respiratory distress due to a tracheal tumor involving the posterior wall of the upper trachea, with nearly complete airway obstruction. Partial debulking of the tumor's endoluminal component, via rigid bronchoscopy and yttrium-aluminum-perovskite laser, allowed timely and effective airway restoration. The diagnosis was benign tracheal glomus tumor. Two we...

BACKGROUND Tracheal stenosis is more frequent as a result of wide-spread use of endotracheal intubation and tracheostomy. Resection and tracheal reconstruction remain the treatment of choice in benign tracheal stenosis. OBJECTIVES To report our experience in Basra and to identify the result of anastomosis after tracheal resection and management of those patients preoperatively and postoperati...

Abstract OBJECTIVES A tension-free anastomosis is crucial to minimize the risk of airway complications after laryngotracheal surgery. The ‘guardian’ chin stitch placed prevent hyperextension neck in early postoperative period. This manoeuvre was introduced tracheal surgery and now routinely performed by many surgeons. However, evidence for or against sparse. METHODS We a retrospective analysis ...
