Tracheal Stenosis Related To Prolonged Intubation

Tracheal stenosis related to prolonged intubation is a important clinical problem, currently. Its incidence has decreased with recognition of its etiology and modifications in the endotracheal and tracheostomy tubes. A tracheal stenosis related to prolonged intubation was detected by three dimension computed tomography and bronchoscopy in a 46-year-old man. Although the bronchoscopic dilatation, stenosis recurred. Therefore the tracheal sleeve resection was performed. We aimed to emphasize the diagnosis and treatment in the tracheal stenosis related to prolonged intubation.
