[Transversal resection of trachea as the method of treatment of postintubational stenosis].
We present an experience with transversal tracheal resection with end-to-end anastomosis in 3 patients with extensive subglottic stenosis because of prolonged intubation. All the patients were treated chirurgically based on the Pearson's method. In order to attein the fixation of tracheal stumbs, poroplastic splint was applied into the lumen of the trachea and patency of airways was protected by tracheotomy.There were no major complications during treatment and time of the treatment was significally shortening.
