The authors present 100 patients operate for diseases of the trachea during a period ranging from 1972-1991. Stricture of the trachea was observed in 75% of pts. and tumours in the remaining 25%. Stricture resulting from tracheostomy was the most frequent. The majority of patients underwent end-to-end anastomosis. A Nevill prosthesis was implanted in 5 patients. The results were good in 93.34% of pts. The mortality was 6.6%. The most frequent operation for malignant tumours was resection of the trachea and end-to-end anastomosis. The length of the respected segment ranged from 3-6 cm. There was no mortality.
