Background: Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a systemic non-inflammatory disorder characterized by enthesopathy and osteophyte formation. DISH can also cause several other symptoms. Limited range of motion (ROM) is the most common symptom; however, dysphagia and respiratory distress are clinically important symptoms.

Objective: Analysis of risk factors for restenosis after intervention for tuberculous airway stenosis.

Methods: We retrospectively collected the clinical data of patients diagnosed with tuberculous airway stenosis in the Second Hospital of Lanzhou University and Lanzhou Pulmonary Hospital from January 2021 to June 2023. The patients were divided into the restenosis group and the non-restenosis group according to whether or not restenosis occurred in the airway within 1 year after the intervention, and the differences in the clinical data between the two groups were compared, and the variables with statistically significant differences in the univariate analysis were analyzed by multifactorial binary logistic regression.

Prolonged mechanical ventilation following cardiopulmonary and neurological events oftentimes necessitates a tracheostomy and tracheal granulation is one of its most common late complications. The literature recommends that large granulation be managed through surgical excision or endoluminal techniques. A 6-year-old boy presented with high-grade tracheal stenosis secondary to endotracheal cuff-related injury and prolonged tracheostomy.

Objectives: Idiopathic subglottic stenosis(ISS) is an airway stricture between larynx and trachea, within 1 cm from the vocal cords. Resection-reconstruction presents technical issues because of the need to resect the anterior portion of the cricoid cartilage, but not the posterior plate beyond which the recurrent laryngeal nerves access the vocal cords. The main surgical challenge consists of the minute airway caliber short below the cords, ensuing after the resection.

Background: Benign airway stenoses are complex disorders that present with progressive dyspnoea, stridor, and significant respiratory distress. These conditions have a high recurrence rate and despite the plethora of endoscopic and open techniques available for treatment, the outcomes are variable. Our primary was to determine the pre-operative factors associated with an increased hazard of cricotracheal resection (CTR)/tracheal resection (TR) and reconstruction in cases of benign subglottic and tracheal strictures.

Division of Pediatric Surgery, Department of Surgery, IRCCS Istituto Giannina Gaslini, Via Gerolamo Gaslini 5, 16147, Genova, Italy; Department of Neuroscience, Rehabilitation, Ophthalmology, Genetics, Maternal and Child Health, DINOGMI, Università di Genova, Largo Paolo Daneo 3, 16132, Genova, Italy; Pediatric Thoracic and Airway Surgery Unit, Department of Surgery, IRCCS Istituto Giannina Gaslini, Via Gerolamo Gaslini 5, 16147, Genova, Italy.

Introduction: Congenital Tracheal Stenosis (CTS) with complete cartilaginous rings is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition in paediatric patients. Currently, the most common approach is slide tracheoplasty (ST) with sternotomy under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Intending to make the procedure less invasive and consider the variety of associated conditions, we have tailored the approach to our patients, who were treated by a multidisciplinary airway team.

Objectives: COVID-19 pneumonia patients may have high rates of intubation and reduced pulmonary function once recovered. Poor pulmonary function is a relative contraindication to open airway reconstruction, post-COVID patients may extrapolate as high-risk for open airway reconstruction. This presents challenges in airway stenosis management of post-COVID pneumonia patients.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examined patients with tracheal or laryngotracheal stenosis who required tracheostomy, focusing on their swallowing and clinical profiles before undergoing airway interventions.
  • It involved a retrospective cohort study where patients underwent swallowing evaluations and imaging, with follow-ups at 6 and 12 months to assess progress.
  • Results showed female predominance, high rates of subglottic stenosis, and that many had significant swallowing difficulties, indicating a need for personalized care due to potential complications affecting recovery.

Cervical tracheoplasty requires knowledge and skills not only of the trachea but also of the larynx. Even if the lesion is thought preoperatively to be confined to the cervical trachea, intraoperative manipulation of the larynx is often necessary. This area that involves the larynx and trachea is a borderline between otorhinolaryngology and thoracic surgery, and there are very few surgeons in Japan who are well trained in both areas.

Article Synopsis
  • Tracheal stenosis, a complication from intubation, often gets misdiagnosed as asthma due to similar symptoms like wheezing and respiratory issues.
  • A 10-year-old boy initially diagnosed with severe asthma had difficulty breathing and was unresponsive to treatment, leading to an emergency tracheostomy where tracheal stenosis was discovered.
  • The case emphasizes the need for medical professionals to consider tracheal stenosis in children with respiratory symptoms, especially if there’s a history of intubation, and highlights the importance of securing the airway promptly.

Article Synopsis
  • Patch tracheoplasty is an alternative technique for treating congenital tracheal stenosis, which reduces tension during repair but has a higher risk of complications like restenosis and tracheal collapse.
  • The study explores using a new decellularization method with CHAPS and DNase to create a biocompatible tracheal matrix and enhance epithelial regeneration using extracellular vesicles from adipose mesenchymal stem cells.
  • Experimental results showed that this method improved cell proliferation and re-epithelialization in both lab testing and animal models, indicating potential for clinical application in repairing tracheal defects.

Adult Intensive Care Unit, University Hospital and University of Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland.

Article Synopsis
  • The review discusses the importance of developing effective strategies for using tracheostomy in ICU patients needing extended mechanical ventilation or having airway protection issues.
  • Recent findings highlight that tracheostomy can improve patient comfort, ease the weaning process, and help with recovery activities, although it doesn’t decrease mortality and may lead to complications like tracheal stenosis.
  • An individualized approach is necessary to determine the optimal timing and technique for tracheostomy, favoring the percutaneous single dilator method with trained personnel when appropriate.
