Manufacture of a Multi-Purpose Low-Cost Animal Bench-Model for Teaching Tracheostomy

Abstract:
We report the aetiology management and results of 40 cases of laryngeal or tracheal stenoses. In 77.5% the stenoses were due to trauma or iatrogenic causes: nearly all of the stenoses caused by translaryngeal intubation affected the cricoid cartilage or the cricotracheal area. Two kinds of treatment were usually used: segmental resection with end to end anastomosis was successful in all cases and had the advantage of a short treatment and a low complication rate. Treatment by temporary open gutter with subsequent reconstruction of the trachea was successful in 16 patients but duration of the management was longer.
