[Prophylaxis of iatrogenic tracheostenosis after laryngeal extirpation].
Causes of such postoperative complication as cicatricial tracheostenosis after tracheotomy and laryngeal extirpation are considered. The author came to the conclusion that the leading cause of tracheostenosis is an invalid choice of tracheotomic tubes by diameter, length and angle. The experience with more than 3000 surgical interventions on the larynx and trachea allowed the author to recommend most effective treatments at each stage of cicatricial tracheostenosis.
