  • Title: Slide tracheoplasty.
    Author: Gallagher TQ, Hartnick CJ.
    Journal: Adv Otorhinolaryngol; 2012; 73():58-62. PubMed ID: 22472229.
    Abstract:
    Slide tracheoplasty, first described in 1989, has become the procedure of choice for long segment tracheal stenosis and complete tracheal rings. Although a challenging surgery with higher mortality than other open airway procedures, this technique offers a successful alternative for parents who just a couple decades ago had no reasonable surgical option. We describe the management of long segment tracheal stenosis using the slide tracheoplasty highlighting the surgical pearls necessary for success.
