title: [Surgical treatment of tuberculous tracheobronchial stenosis].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report the experience of surgical treatment of tuberculous tracheobronchial stenosis.
  
  
  METHODS
  Two trachial stenosis and 33 bronchial stenosis cases were analyzed. The modes of surgical treatment included: pneumonectomy in 14 cases, lobectomy in 13, lobectomy combined with bronchoplasty in 3, right pneumonectomy and partial trachial resection in 2, right main bronchus sleeve resection in 1, endotrachial granuloma resection in 1, right pneumonectomy and partial trachial resection combined with trachial reconstruction in 1.
  
  
  RESULTS
  There was no bronchopleural fistula, tracheobronchial restenosis and death due to operation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The first choice for the treatment of tuberculous tracheal or bronchial stenosis is lobectomy or pneumonectomy with trachial or bronchial plasty surgery.
