Tracheal stenosis

D F Knudsen et al. Calif Med. 1971 Sep.

Abstract

The increasing use of endotracheal intubation in support of various surgical methods has resulted in more injury to the tracheal mucous membrane than was formerly supposed. Tracheal injury may result in fibrosis and narrowing of the trachea. When tracheal stenosis is of a sufficient degree to necessitate repeated bronchoscopies and dilations, the patient's time under medical care and total morbidity may be considerably lessened by aggressive approach, involving resection of the diseased portion of the trachea.
