Summary:Upper airway stenosis Is usually associated with a complex of pathological conditions at the high tracheal and the subglottic levels. Inflammatory stenosis of the trachea remains the most common indication for tracheal resection and reconstruction. Primary tumors of the trachea are best treated by resection when primary reconstruction may be safely accomplished. Nine cases with ages between 24-50 were treated with surgery for benign and malign tracheal stenosis. Tracheal resection and end-to-end anastomosis were successfully performed to 5 cases with a diagnosis of postintubation stenosis via cervical approach and 4 cases with tracheal tumors via thoracotomy. Accurate preoperative assessment and preparation associated with a perfect surgical technique is mandatory to obtain good results for tracheal surgery.
