title: Tracheal resection with regional anesthesia.
abstract: A 52-year-old man underwent tracheal resection during regional anesthesia with sedation. The patient had a prior history of tracheostomy resulting in tracheal stenosis and expiratory wheezing. Awake tracheal resection with spontaneous ventilation was performed. Patient cooperation was essential to identify the lesion and perform the resection safely.
