AbstractSuccessful operation performed on a 2-year-old boy with tracheal stenosis due to long-term intubation was reported. He was admitted to our department 1 year after a neurosurgical operation. Endoscopically, destruction of cartilage rings was observed just above the site of tracheostomy, and the tracheal wall was collapsed without a help of tracheal tube. Reconstruction of the trachea by circumferential resection and end-to-end anastomosis was done. During the operation, the patient was uniformly ventilated by tracheal tube through nasal intubation. After the operation, tracheal intubation was continued for 7 days, and anterior fixation of neck for 8 days. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient remains asymptomatic 8 months after operation.
