[Surgical treatment of tracheal injuries].
Traumatic and iatrogenic injuries of the trachea are rare. In case of suspected rupture of the trachea a bronchoscopy remains the 'gold standard' of diagnostic procedures. The injuries should be repaired as soon as possible through a right thoracotomy or a collar incision using resorbable sutures. In case of small lesions a conservative treatment may be discussed. Overall the prognosis of tracheal injuries is good.
