Tracheal stenosis is relatively common complication after tracheal intubation or tracheostomy for a long time. We experienced 10 cases of tracheal stenosis with various causes, prolonged intubation or tracheostomy caused the tracheal stenosis in seven, one after advanced cancer of the lung, one after inhalation burn, and the other was palliative management for tracheal stenosis by Gianturco type tracheal stent. We tried to correct this stenosis applying three tracheal stent and one Montgomery T-tube as a palliative approach, but failed in two, one restenosis due to regrowing of granulation tissue with scarring or another metastatic spread of cancer to systemic organs after 3 months of placing the stent. Tracheal circumferential resection and end to end anastomosis were done in seven, and obtained one postoperative complication as subglottic stenosis was followed by Montgomery T-tube and reoperation later. With the brief review of references, we report the cases.
