AbstractUntil recently, the only therapy available for a tracheal stricture has been repeated dilations of the stenotic area or resection and anastomosis. Upper-airway burns in the pediatric patient have occasionally resulted in tracheal stenosis. Two children with a long tracheal stenosis secondary to inhalation injury have been successfully treated surgically. A costal cartilage graft has been used in these two children in the management of a long tracheal stenosis. Both have an adequate airway, and future surgical correction of a subglottic stenosis is planned for both. The results, although initially successful, will need to be tested by time before they can be considered the definitive treatment for long areas of tracheal stenosis.
