Abstract

Tracheal stenosis is an important clinical problem. Several treatment modalities are being used such as tracheal dilatation, laser surgery, surgical resection, and reconstruction. Surgery of the trachea is a special endeavor where the airway is shared by the surgeon and the anesthesiologist. In this article, we discussed the various methods of anesthesia and airway management in three cases who developed tracheal stenosis secondary to prolonged intubation in intensive care and were performed tracheal dilation, laser surgery, resection, and end-to-end anastomosis.

Trakeal darlık ve rekonstrüktif cerrahi: Anestezi ve havayolu yönetimindeki deneyimimiz

Abstract

Trakeal darlık önemli bir klinik sorundur. Trakeal dilatasyon, lazer cerrahisi, cerrahi rezeksiyon ve rekonstrüksiyon gibi çeşitli tedavi yöntemleri kullanılmaktadır. Trakea cerrahisi, hava yolunun cerrah ve anestezist tarafından paylaşıldığı, özel bir çabadır. Bu yazıda, yoğun bakımda uzamış entübasyona ikincil olarak trakeal darlık gelişen ve trakeal dilatasyon, lazer cerrahisi, rezeksiyon ve uç-uca anastomoz uygulanan üç olgudaki çeşitli anestezi yöntemleri ve havayolu yönetimi tartışıldı
