title: [Reconstructive surgery in tracheobronchial injuries].
abstract: The cause of traumatic tracheobronchial lesions are ruptures as result of blunt trauma, penetrating injuries, iatrogenic manipulations and aspirated fixed foreign bodies. Such lesions are relatively rare. Tracheobronchial lesions with clinical relevance were detected in an acceptable time after the trauma. Emergency tracheobronchoscopy is of great importance for the diagnosis. In the most of patients with bronchial ruptures we have been able to avoid a lung resection by the early operation with direct suture.
