Benign Tracheal Stenosis

BENIGN TRACHEAL STENOSIS (RIGID BRONCHOSCOPIC DILATION) A 24-year-old male was ventilated for road traffic accident. After a few months of recovery, he developed difficulty in breathing and hoarseness.. CT neck and bronchoscopy showed a complex but short segment stenosis of the mod trachea, 3 to 4 cm below the vocal cords. The lumen was around 6 mm in diameter.. After counseling, it was decided to perform a session of tracheal dilation as the stenosis was short segment and less than 2 cm in length... Careful electrocautery incisions were given at the sites of maximal narrowing. Serial CRE balloon dilation followed by rigos bronchoscopic dilation of stenosis was performed to achieve a lumen of 15 mm diameter. Following dilation, mitomycin was applied to prevent restenosis... After the procedure, his hoarseness of voice recovered, and his dyspnea also reduced.. He is planned for close follow-up with a plan for surgical resection/tracheal stent placement if the stenosis recurs.
