title: Custom made acrylic tracheal stent for tracheal stenosis.
abstract: The purpose of stenting for tracheal lesions varies from palliation, to cure, to stabilization while a reconstructive effort heals. This article describes a technique of fabricating customised acrylic tracheal stent for a patient with tracheal stenosis. Custom made acrylic tracheal stent described in this article facilitates easy manipulation during surgery and is cost effective when compared to pre fabricated silicone or other metallic stents.
