Successful treatment of long-segmental tuberculous tracheal stenosis with combined Mongomery T-stent and Hood stent.
We used combined Mongomery T-stent and Hood stent in a long segment (11 cm), benign tracheal stenosis after treatment with a standard Mongomery T-stent failed. Respiratory and phonation function was restored immediately after the procedure. The patient became pregnant 2 months later. Her baby was born at full-term with a smooth vaginal delivery. She was in good health 18 months after the operation.
