To review our experience with tracheal resection with end-to-end anastomosis for tracheal stenosis, we performed a retrospective review at a tertiary-care academic medical center. Twenty-eight patients underwent circumferential tracheal resection with end-to-end anastomosis by 2 attending otolaryngologists from 1989 to 2002. Patients were excluded if they were under 12 years of age or if the surgical indication was tracheal or thyroid neoplasm. The indications for tracheal resection were postintubation stenosis (n = 9; 32%), posttracheotomy stenosis (n = 7; 25%), both postintubation and posttracheotomy stenosis (n = 9; 32%), external tracheal trauma (n = 2; 7%), and presence of a foreign body (n = 1; 4%). Two to 8 rings were resected. The follow-up periods ranged from 18 months to 13.5 years. The anastomotic success rate was 89% (n = 25). No patients died as a result of the procedure. We conclude that tracheal resection with end-to-end anastomosis is a relatively safe and reliable procedure for the treatment of tracheal stenosis in appropriately selected patients.
