We report one-stage radical surgical treatment of a 54-year-old patient with extensive cicatricial posttracheostomy tracheal stenosis complicated by tracheomalacia of anterior tracheal wall and previous numerous unsuccessful endoscopic attempts of tracheal recanalization. A new method of prevention of tracheal anastomosis failure was applied.

Background: The indications for pediatric airway endoscopy are expanding and a variety of therapeutic interventions are feasible for central airway obstruction (CAO) and other central airway pathologies, apart from foreign body removal.

Methods: In this retrospective chart review from four centers, we describe the indications, procedures, outcomes, and complications of therapeutic bronchoscopic interventions in children for non foreign-body removal indications.

Results: A total of 72 children (mean age:140 [60.
