VARIOUS TECHNIQUES ON DISTINCT CASES OF TRACHEAL STENOSIS

SEPTEMBER 2014 - VOL.8 | CASE REPORT

Narrowing of the airway caused by several factors is a serious condition manifesting different  signs and symptoms. Immediate attention is needed and treatment must be performed as this is a  life-threatening condition. In the past decade, there have been massive advancements in the management  of airway stenosis. Some of these are stent placement, tracheal reconstruction and tumor debulking. This article focuses on six different cases with distinct strategies in conducting treatment.

Keywords:
