The etiological factors of recurrence after tracheal resection and reconstruction in post-intubation stenosis
I read with interest the article by Abbasidezfouli et al. on the etiological factors of recurrence after tracheal resection and reconstruction in post-intubation stenosis [1]. Stenosis after tracheal resection and reconstruction is an important problem. Tracheal stenosis and dehiscence of anastomosis due to excessive tension are well known problems after long segment tracheal resections. Therefore, in terms of prevention or reducing these complications, we aimed to make comparison between the standard reconstruction technique and the W plasty technique in our experimental study. Results were good [2]. This technique could be used for human tracheal resection.
