[Non-standard long-term tracheal stenting with silicone endoprosthesis for cicatricial stenosis].

Endoscopic approach with recanalization and stenting is one of the methods for cicatricial tracheal stenosis. Major complications may occur if service life of stents is not observed. However, there are currently no clear timing for stenting.

[Improving surgical technique for tracheal resection with anastomosis].

Objective: To present modern aspects of improving surgical techniques in tracheal resection developed in recent years.

Material And Methods: The authors have the most extensive experience in tracheal surgery (>2.000 patients over the past 50 years).

[Treatment of tracheoesophageal fistula and consequences of severe spinal injury].

Modern approaches to intensive care and anesthesiology make it possible to save patients with various severe traumas. Prolonged mechanical ventilation allows stabilizing the patient's status, but can result severe complications including tracheoesophageal fistula. Our patient received severe combined injury after road accident, i.

[Treatment of cicatricial tracheal stenosis and tracheoesophageal fistula in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia].

Objective: To describe treatment of cicatricial tracheal stenosis and tracheoesophageal fistula in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia.

Material And Methods: There were 91 patients with cicatricial tracheal stenosis for the period from August 2020 to April 2022 (21 months). Of these, 32 (35.

[Airway stenting in patients with complex benign tracheobronchial stenosis].

Tracheal and bronchial stenting is actively used for cancer and benign airway stenosis. This procedure is common in patients with advanced cancer. Stenting ensures breathing and availability of early chemo- and radiotherapy without the need for tracheostomy.
