[The place of direct reconstructive surgery in the treatment of tracheomalacia in children].
Surgical management is sometime necessary in severe case of congenital tracheomalacia, especially if airway obstruction persist after internal splinting with an endotracheal tube. Short segment tracheomalacia or bronchomalacia can be resected; but long segment of tracheal narrowing required un external airway splint using autologous tissues or prosthetic material. The initial results are encouraging.
