Slide Tracheoplasty Versus Tracheal Resection Anastomosis in Acquired Tracheal Stenosis

Aim of the Work To compare the clinical outcomes between patients will undergo slide tracheoplasty and those will undergo tracheal resection anastomosis for acquired tracheal stenosis.

Inclusion Criteria:

• All patients with grade III, IV acquired tracheal stenosis (e.g., due to trauma, prolonged intubation) regardless their age or sex.

  • Patient with symptomatic high grade II acquired laryngotracheal stenosis after failure of endoscopic interventions.
  • Clinical indications for surgical intervention (Symptoms of airway obstruction).
  • Feasible for surgical intervention.

Exclusion Criteria:
