title: [Obstructive emphysema--a typical late event after reconstructive surgery for laryngeal or tracheal stenoses (author's transl)].
abstract: Obstructive emphysema following reconstructive surgery for laryngeal and tracheal stenoses is a frequent occurrence which may well be a typical event. Four stages occur which can be differentiated according to their severity. These are specified and illustrated by the pathophysiological values of pulmonary function tests in 29 patients. A significant correlation exists between the degree of obstructive emphysema or physical irregularity of the airflow which occurs and the interval of time since operative reconstruction of the airway has taken place.
