title: [Aortopexy as a surgical treatment method in infantile congenital tracheo-chondrohypoplasia and tracheomalacia].
abstract: Congenital tracheal chondrohypoplasia and tracheomalacia have come to present a significant challenge in recent paediatric surgery. Authors shortly describe their pathology, pathophysiology, symptoms, diagnostic evaluation and outline the most frequency surgical procedures for them. The first three aortopexies in the authors' departments are described in this paper, with particular attention paid to the clinical problems of congenital tracheal chondrohypoplasia and tracheomalacia and the role of this method in surgical treatment, respectively. Aortopexy is quick, easy to carry out and atraumatic for the growing trachea. Authors want to draw attention to the fact that not every form of congenital tracheal chondrohypoplasia and tracheomalacia may be treated by conservative therapy, and that surgical treatment is recommended not only for life threatening forms, but for other severe forms as well.
