    AbstractReoperation due to recurrence after tracheal resection and reconstruction still seems challenging. Although recurrence may lead to serious morbidity, an appropriate surgical technique plays a significant role in the cure of these patients. We report our experience of a patient who successfully underwent a third resection and anastomosis of the trachea. We believe that the number of previous operations is not a contraindication by itself against reoperating on a patient with restenosis. Also the success rate might be acceptably high if a sufficiently healthy tracheal length remains.
