Tracheal resection and anastomosis effectively treat tracheal stenosis from various causes. While complications arose with certain stents, overall outcomes, especially for iatrogenic cases, were excellent, with good long-term survival for neoplastic conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Pulmonology

Background:

  • Tracheal stenosis presents significant management challenges.
  • Surgical resection and anastomosis offer a potential solution for diverse etiologies.
  • Long-term outcomes require further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of tracheal resection and primary anastomosis.
  • To analyze results across different causes of tracheal stenosis.
  • To identify key factors influencing surgical success.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 45 tracheal resections in 38 patients over 19 years.
  • Categorization of stenosis by etiology: congenital, traumatic, iatrogenic (tracheostomy/endotracheal tubes), and neoplastic.

  • Analysis of operative mortality, morbidity, and long-term survival, including stent use.

    • Main Results:

    • Low overall operative mortality (7.9%) and morbidity.
    • Excellent results for iatrogenic tracheal stenosis.
    • Acceptable outcomes with Montgomery T tubes, but disastrous results with Neville prostheses.
    • Increased mortality/morbidity for neoplastic lesions, but good 5-year survival.

    Conclusions:

    • Tracheal resection with primary anastomosis is a viable treatment for tracheal stenosis.
    • Computed tomography is crucial for preoperative evaluation.
    • Careful patient selection and management are essential for optimal outcomes, particularly in neoplastic cases.
