Overview

Case report demonstrates successful tracheal resection and anastomosis for postintubation tracheal stenosis, highlighting the value of early diagnosis and precise surgical planning.

Key Points

To describe the multidisciplinary diagnostic evaluation and surgical resection technique used to treat severe tracheal stenosis following prolonged mechanical ventilation.
Assessed a patient (N=1) with respiratory distress following 10 days of mechanical ventilation using computed tomography, video bronchoscopy, echocardiography, and pulmonary function tests.
Performed a Kocher's cervicotomy, mobilized the trachea, executed a circular resection of the stenotic segment, and established a end-to-end (termino-terminal) anastomosis with intraoperative bronchoscopy guidance.
Intraoperative video bronchoscopy verified accurate stenotic localization and confirmed structural airway integrity following anastomosis.
The patient achieved an uneventful postoperative recovery and was successfully discharged in satisfactory clinical condition.
