Abstract
- Tracheobronchial trauma is an uncommon condition with potentially devastating consequences. Appropriate pre-, intra-, and postoperative management is mandatory for a satisfactory functional outcome. We report a case of extensive tracheobronchial injury secondary to blunt trauma, which was managed successfully with emergent surgical repair and careful endoscopic follow-up. We review the important management decisions made in this case.
