title: [Iatrogenic injury of tracheobronchial membranous wall].
abstract: Tracheobronchial injuries remain uncommon, but they are of great significance, because they can result in death or substantinal functional compromise. Such injuries are mostly from blunt trauma and motor vehicle accidents, but there also is an incidence of penetrating thoracic trauma inclunding iatrogenic accidents. Three cases of iatrogenic injury of tracheobronchial membranous wall were reported. Two cases were tear at the membraneous portion of the left main bronchus and trachea by forceful endotracheal intubation. Another case was tracheal membranous wall injury during operation at blunt dissection for esophageal carcinoma. We reported the emergent managements for iatrogenic injury of tracheobroncheal membranous wall in differents 3 ways. We should select the best treatment according to the condition of the patients and situation of the injury.
