Abstract:
Endo larynges tracheal stenoses due to endo luminal or extra luminal processes of benign or malignant character in majority of cases demand the resection of a stenosed part. The use of a stent represents a necessity. In this paper we analyzed 10- year experience of the ENT Clinic of the University Clinical Center Sarajevo regarding the use of stents. 26 patients underwent surgery in a period 1995-2005. Prolonged endo tracheal intubations are encountered as a primary cause of stenoses (73 %). Infection and granulations are noted as a complication in 15,3% of cases. Stent is removed in 16 patients within 3 months and in 7 patients after 12 months.
