Abstract
Tracheal resection for long benign tracheal stenosis is challenging because of the lack of a suitable replacement to facilitate tension-free anastomosis. We describe a patient with a 6-cm post-tuberculous tracheal stricture, severely debilitated post-recurrent bronchoscopic intervention. Staged resection facilitated near-total tracheal resection with primary anastomosis and complete symptom resolution.
