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.

Post-intubation and post-tracheostomy tracheal stenoses are relatively uncommon common complications of prolonged intubation. Patients with tracheal stenosis usually present with stridor and dyspnea once a significant portion of their airway is compromised.

Treatment of patients with post-intubation (post-tracheostomy) stenotic laryngotracheal lesions combined with tracheoesophageal fistula is the most difficult problem for various specialists. A 20-year-old patient received a severe concomitant injury with necessary prolonged mechanical ventilation and tracheostomy. Decannulation was followed by shortness of breath and cough with discharge of sputum mixed with liquid and food.
