[Obstruction due to congenital tracheal and bronchial stenosis].
Report of seven cases of congenital tracheal and bronchial stenosis in infants, successfully treated by endo-resection (2 cases), tracheoplasty (1 case) and resection with anastomosis (4 cases). The review of several cases of literature let to emphasize some points: the frequency of severe manifestations since neonatal period and during the first months leading to repeated hospitalisations with the treatening of broncho-pulmonar infections; the necessity of early diagnosis and complete anatomic evaluation of stenosis, which sometimes requires to be promptly treated in front of a sudden recurrence of respiratory distress; at last, improvements of reconstructive surgical technique, tracheoplasty for diffuse stenosis, endo-resection or resection with anastomosis for segmental lesions, which the results point out the possibilities and indications of that surgery in the infants.
