title: [Reconstructive surgery of prolonged and multifocal stenoses of trachea].
abstract: Overall 553 patients aged 9 to 77 years with cicatrical stenoses of trachea were treated. The causes of stenoses were tracheostomy (345 patients), intubation of trachea (155), trauma (29), unknown (24). Surgical methods of treatment were used at 448 (81.0%) patients, endoscopic methods--at 105 (19.0%); overall 1184 operations have been performed. Transplantation of donor thyrotracheal complex has been performed at 1 patient with subtotal cicatrical stenosis of trachea. Combination of staged reconstructive and plastic operations with endoscopic procedures permits to achieve good functional results. Treatment of these patients should be performed at special medical centers which have all the necessary technologies.
