Tracheal stenosis is a severe condition that significantly affects patients’ quality of life, with airway reconstruction surgery being the primary treatment. Airway management is critical during general anesthesia, especially when the airway is the surgical site. This report presents clinical concepts and cases of the successful use of laryngeal masks as a supraglottic airway for intraoperative tracheal management in patients with tracheal stenosis. As a transitional device for airway management, a laryngeal mask can provide adequate ventilation and oxygenation and should be incorporated into airway control protocols for individuals with tracheal stenosis.
