Abstract

Five cases of tracheal stenosis are presented, and aspects of etiology and pathophysiology of the disease are discussed. A new soft, flexible T-tube is described along with a method of endoscopic introduction. Although many patients with tracheal stenosis will eventually need tracheal reconstruction, stenting may be definitive in selected cases.
