Prophylaxis and Treatment of Complications After Tracheal Resection

Paulo Francisco Guerreiro Cardoso et al. Thorac Surg Clin. 2018 May.

Abstract

Tracheal resections are major surgical procedures with a complication rate as high as 44%. Early detection of complications followed by a structured and expedited course of action is critical for achieving a successful outcome. The prevention of complications after tracheal resection starts with a correct indication for resection. A thorough preoperative evaluation, meticulous surgical technique, and good postoperative care in a center that performs airway surgery routinely are important factors for achieving good results.
