ABSTRACT |
During recently years, the use of endotracheal intubation for respiratory support of critically ill patients has been a standard life-saving from of therapy. However, this therapeutic modality needs prolonged intubation and has increased the incidence of laryngotracheal complication. One of the formidable complication is the circumferential cervical tracheal stenosis. The best treatment for patients having circumferential stenosis is a sleeve resection of stenotic portion and end-to-end anastomosis with or without release technique. We experienced 3 cases of sleeve tracheal resection and end-to-end anastomosis with suprahyoid laryngeal release for circumferential tracheal stenosis due to prolonged intubation. Our experience for the surgical technique and postoperative care will be discussed.
