Use of dedicated optical tracheal dilator for postintubation tracheal stenosis : First report from India

Postintubation tracheal stenosis is preventable yet commonly occurring clinical condition. Early in the disease, nonspecific symptoms may predominate but once the stenosis reaches a critical stage life-threatening respiratory compromise may ensue. Bronchoscopic interventions are an invaluable tool in the management both as a primary treatment and as an interim procedure before the surgery. Optical dilatational tracheoscopy is a safe and minimally invasive procedure in the treatment of benign tracheal stenosis. Involvement of multidisciplinary team early in the treatment planning gives the best possible results.
