Abstract

Introduction:
Tracheal stenosis can present very insidiously as a catastrophic episode requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Trauma is the most prevalent cause of laryngotracheal stenosis, which can be a complication of endotracheal intubation, tracheotomy, laser surgery, irradiation, and endotracheal tube burns, or external as a result of severe or penetrating neck trauma.
Many treatment modalities were proposed to treat tracheal stenosis such as endoscopic dilatation, laser assisted procedures, stenting and open surgical intervention like tracheal resection with end-to-end anastomosis or tracheoplasty. Tracheal resection with end - to -end anastmosis has been proposed to be the method of choice of treating post intubation tracheal stenosis patients.
In this study we discussed our experience, drawbacks and outcome of resection of the trachea and anastomosis in patients with tracheal stenosis as a complication of intubation.

Aim of the work
The work of the study was to assess outcome and complications of tracheal resection with end to end anastomosis in the management of cervical post intubation tracheal stenosis.
