description

Abstract This chapter provides a step-by-step explanation of the indications, basic technique and pitfalls of tracheal surgery for cases of benign tracheal stenosis. Approach, trachea dissection and end-to-end anastomosis in tracheal surgery is described in detail. An algorithm for laryngotracheal technique selection according to different criteria (stenosis location, vocal cords status and tracheal mucosa and/or cartilaginous larynx involvement) is also depicted. Finally, a review of the most important reported series in tracheal surgery is presented.
