“…As the anastomosis technique; interrupted sutures were used in the anterior wall in all patients, while the ratio of interrupted to continuous suture use in the membranous wall was 36%/64%, respectively. Anastomotic complications are detected during routine bronchoscopic examinations [21]. Wright et al stated that the best option for the treatment of restenosis is the T-tube or tracheostomy tube because it does not impair airway humidification and allows phonation [17].…”

Curr Thorac Surg 2020; 5(1): 16-22. ABSTRACT Background:In this study, we reviewed the treatment, follow-up, and prognostic factors associated with complications in patients who underwent tracheal resection due to postintubation tracheal stenosis (PETS), in light of the literature. Materials and Methods: Twenty-five patients who were operated for PETS between June 2012 and June 2017 were retrospectively evaluated. The patients' postoperative complications and prognostic factors affecting mortality were examined.Results: There was 11 female (44%) and 14 male (56%) patients. Eight patients (32%) had comorbidities.The mean prolonged intubation time was 47.4 ± 55.0 minutes. Eight patients (32%) developed postoperative morbidity. The main prognostic factors associated with morbidity were the length of the stenotic area and the presence of endocrine and respiratory comorbidities (p<0.05). Tracheal fistulae were observed in 2 patients. The postoperative mortality rate was 8% (n=2). One patient with fistula died on postoperative day 2, while another patient died at postoperative three months due to cardiac failure. No significant factor was identified in relation to the development of tracheal fistulae. Conclusions:The most important factor associated with complications was the presence of endocrine comorbidities. Although tracheal surgery results in high rates of postoperative morbidity and mortality, we believe these risks can be reduced by experienced surgeons and appropriate patient selection.

“…La frecuencia de ET posintubación varía del 0,6 % al 21 %. 6 Es una causa poco común de estridor y dificultad respiratoria en pediatría. La lesión se produce, generalmente, en la zona que está en contacto con el balón del tubo endotraqueal por necrosis isquémica.…”

“…La resección traqueal con anastomosis término-terminal (RT-TT) es el tratamiento de elección de la ET posintubación. [5][6][7] La longitud de la ET es el factor determinante más importante de la resecabilidad. 8 Existe consenso en que las estenosis menores del 50 % de la longitud traqueal se pueden tratar con resección y anastomosis primaria, mientras que, cuando la estenosis involucra más del 50 % (estenosis larga), es necesaria la traqueoplastía por deslizamiento.…”

Presentación de casos clínicos RESUMEN La estenosis traqueal adquirida es muy poco frecuente en la edad pediátrica y puede responder a múltiples causas; la estenosis posintubación y la secundaria a traqueotomía son las más comunes. El manejo de la estenosis traqueal adquirida sigue siendo controvertido. El tratamiento endoscópico proporciona el alivio inmediato de los síntomas, pero se asocia a una alta tasa de recurrencia, y el uso de prótesis endoluminales puede incrementar la longitud de la estenosis y complicar una cirugía futura. Por el contrario, se han documentado buenos resultados a largo plazo con la resección traqueal con anastomosis primaria. Se describe nuestra experiencia con la resección traqueal con anastomosis término-terminal para el tratamiento de la estenosis traqueal posintubación en 8 pacientes.

ObjectiveWith advancements in respiratory interventional techniques, bronchoscopic intervention technology has emerged as a viable approach for managing postintubation tracheal stenosis (PITS). However, there was a paucity of research investigating the potential impact of stenosis characteristics and morphology (such as stenosis degree, length, type, and morphology) on bronchoscopic intervention treatment prognosis for PITS patients. This study was to assess the impact of various preoperative stenosis characteristic factors on the bronchoscopic cure rate among patients.MethodsThis is a retrospective study analyzing the medical records of patients with PITS who received bronchoscopic intervention at the tertiary interventional pulmonology center.ResultsAmong the cases, 115 individuals achieved a in a success rate of 79.86% for bronchoscopic intervention therapy and were assigned to Group S. On the other hand, 29 cases required surgical intervention, accounting for a surgical treatment rate of 20.14% and were assigned to Group F. The stenosis in the Group F predominantly exhibited irregular shapes with scar granulation accompanied by tracheal chondromalacia collapse. Patients in group S experienced fewer total procedures, rigid bronchoscopy treatment, intraoperative hypoxemia, needed emergency re‐bronchoscopy in 24 h and transferred to ICU postoperatively. Patients with pure scar and granuloma, the rate of bronchoscopic success cure was higher than patients with scar granulation accompanied by tracheal chondromalacia (odds ratio: 8.208; 95% confidence interval: 2.755–24.459), and regular stenosis morphology was associated with a higher bronchoscopic success cure rate (odds ratio: 9.463; 95% confidence interval: 3.128–28.623).ConclusionIrregular airway stenosis, chondromalacia or airway collapse are key factors affecting the success rate of bronchoscopic treatment for post‐intubation tracheal stenosis.Level of evidence: 4 (historically controlled studies).

Abstract: Bronchoscopic methods are associated with a lower cure rate compared to surgery. A multidisciplinary approach was helpful for treatment planning in patients with PITS.
