    AbstractPrimary resection of the trachea and direct anastomosis is indicated whenever inflammatory stenoses and tumors of the trachea are present. In our own series of 27 patients operated upon there were 17 stenoses by scars, two malacias of the trachea, six adenoid-cystic carcinomas, one adenoma of the bronchus and one chondroma. One patient died on the 16th postoperative day from stress-ulcer bleeding. Another patient died three months after the resection of the trachea following reoperation from a recurrence of the stenosis. There was bleeding out of the tracheostoma with aspiration. One patient had a stenosis of the cricoid three years after the tracheal resection had been performed. The stenosis could be treated successfully by reconstructive surgery. None of the other 24 patients had complications. Data on the late results are given. New reports in the literature and our own experience indicate that a tracheal resection with a direct anastomosis seems to be a standardized procedure. Using the right indication for the operation good early and late results can be achieved.
