Tracheal resection anastomosis is one of the most challenging surgeries. Notable advances in this field have made possible a variety of surgical, anesthetic, and airway management options. There are reports of newer approaches ranging from use of supraglottic airway devices, regional anesthesia, and extracorporeal support. Endotracheal intubation with cross-field ventilation and jet ventilation are the standard techniques for airway management followed. These call for multidisciplinary preoperative planning and close communication during surgery and recovery. This review highlights the anesthetic challenges faced during tracheal resection and anastomosis with specific considerations to preoperative workup, classification of tracheal stenosis, airway management, ventilation strategies, and extubation. The newer advances proposed have been reviewed.

Subglottic stenosis (SGS) presents a rare, yet challenging condition characterized by airway obstruction below the glottis, with diverse etiologies ranging from congenital to acquired factors like intubation or autoimmune diseases. Diagnosis and management of SGS during pregnancy are particularly complex due to limited literature and diagnostic consensus. This article presents a case of a 26-year-old pregnant woman presenting with escalating dyspnea and stridor attributed to SGS, most likely secondary to idiopathic etiology.

Pleomorphic adenoma of the trachea is a rare benign tumor, often challenging to diagnose due to nonspecific symptoms. We report a case of a 72-year-old female with a 10-year history of presumed bronchial asthma, presenting with persistent dyspnea. Preoperative assessment for breast cancer surgery revealed severe obstructive ventilatory impairment.

Airway pathology is a complex and incompletely mastered field. Historically, its management was rudimentary, with tracheostomies performed in ancient Egypt, and progress remained stagnant for millennia. Significant advances began in the late 19 century, followed by notable surgical and anesthetic progress in the mid-20 century.

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of and long-term survival with combined organ resection for esophageal cancer (EC).
Background: The optimal treatment strategy for EC that is invading adjacent organs is not established.
Methods: Ninety patients with EC invading adjacent organs who underwent combined organ resection after induction treatments during 2003-2023 in our institute were eligible for the study.

Tumors located at the tracheal bifurcation constitute a heterogeneous group of neoplasms whose treatment poses significant challenges due to their anatomical location, the requirement for radical resection, the need to restore local anatomy, and the necessity of maintaining adequate oxygenation throughout the entire procedure. Advances in airway reconstruction surgical techniques, anesthesia, and complementary therapies have progressively expanded indications for radical treatment of these neoplasms, resulting in significant improvements in both short- and long-term outcomes in recent years.
