Özet

In this paper we report a case with tracheobroncopathia osteochondroplastica presented with a long segmental tracheal stenosis. Modified slide tracheoplasty was undertaken for the management of the stenosis. In our modification, the oblique tracheal cut was performed from left to right to widen the latero-lateral dimension of tracheal lumen. We assume that preservation of the lateral longitudinal vessels of the trachea results in better healing at the suture line. Postoperative course was uneventful and the patient remains on clinical follow-up for 15 months without any problem. © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
