Abstract
- Congenital tracheal stenosis (CTS) is a rare malformation that usually require corrective surgery. Resection and tracheal anastomosis is the treatment of choice when the stenosis is short. However, such an approach is not usually viable when the CTS is long, given that anastomotic pressure would be too great. New surgical techniques have allowed this serious airway malformation to be corrected satisfactorily. We report the case of a three-year-old boy with a long CTS (51% of the length of the trachea) treated with a new reconstructive technique called slide tracheoplasty. Outcome was excellent.
