Tracheal stenosis is being encountered more frequently as ventilatory support and cuffed tubes are increasingly used for treatment of respiratory failure. We experienced 13 cases of tracheal stenosis treated surgically at department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, school of medicine, Kyung Hee university during the 4 years. The causes of tracheal stenosis were prolonged endotracheal intubation 5 cases, tracheostomy 3 cases, tracheal tumor 2 cases, thyroid tumor 1 case and congenital double aortic arch 1 case. The methods used to manage the tracheal stenosis were tracheal resection % end to end anastomosis 8 cases, 2 cases of subglottic stenosis were underwent primary laryngotracheal anastomosis, Lt. aortic arch division 1 case, and stent insertion 2 cases. In two cases, who had 6 cm in length of tracheal stenosis, we were underwent tracheal resection k end to end anastomosis with supralaryngeal release procedure. Postoperative courses were uneventful except one case with tracheal tumor.
