Resection of the stenotic segment with individually tailored anastomosis for symptomatic congenital tracheal stenosis in infants.

Objectives: To analyse retrospectively population-based results of congenital tracheal stenosis (CTS) repair in infants in Finland.

Methods: Data on infants who were operated on for CTS in Helsinki Children's Hospital between August 1988 and May 2013 were analysed retrospectively. Fibreoptic bronchoscopy was performed perioperatively and in follow-up of all the surviving patients.
