A 10-year-old Thoroughbred mare was referred to the Jeju National University Equine Hospital with roaring, dyspnea, and weight loss. On endoscopic examination, the horse was diagnosed with right arytenoid chondritis. Surgical treatment was selected due to the failure of a previous medical treatment. Permanent tracheostomy was performed in a standing position. The horse was restrained and tied in a proper position in the stock. The cranial parts of the 2nd to 5th tracheal cartilages were resected, as were the associated skin, mucosa, muscle, and cartilages. After the stoma was formed, external mucosa and skin were sutured using a simple interrupted method. The horse was hospitalized for 22 days receiving postoperative care including antibiotics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, dressing as required, and was pregnant six months after the surgery. A permanent tracheostomy is thought to be effective in horses with diseases causing upper respiratory tract obstruction.

We experienced 5 cases of tracheal stenosis and 7 cases bronchial stenosis treated surgically at the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, School of Medicine, Hanyang University during 5 years. The causes of tracheal stenosis were prolonged endotracheal intubation 1 case, tracheostomy 1 case, the sequela of endobronchial tuberculosis 2 cases and tracheomalacia 1 case. The causes of bronchial stenosis were all endobronchial tuberculosis. The managements of tracheal stenosis were tracheal resection and end to end anastomosis. The resected lengths of trachea were 1.5cm, 3cm and 7.5cm. One case of suglottic stenosis was underwent the resection of trachea, 8cm in length, and the laryngotracheal anastomosis was done, but the re-stenosis of trachea was developed after 4 weeks post-operatively. One case of tracheomalacia was done permanent tracheostomy only, because the entire trachea was adhered to the surrounding tissue. The managements of bronchial stenosis were resection of involved lobe or one lung, in the 5 case. One case with Lt. main bronchial stenosis and atelectasis of Lt. upper lobe was done the lobectomy of Lt. upper lobe only and then, the Lt. pneumonectomy was done re-operatively because the atelectasis of Lt. lower lobe had continued. The other one case with stenosis of Rt. main bronchus, failed the insertion of metalic stent, was underwent the Rt. upper lobe lobectomy, sleeve resection and side to end anastomosis

Although there are many kinds of method in treatment of tracheal stenosis, tracheal resection and primary anastomosis can be performed for management of various kinds of tracheal stenosis because it is considered the most anatomical ideal therapeutic modality. During a 10-year period we performed 18 tracheal resection on 18 patients with no operative mortality and some morbidity. 13 patients had tracheal stenosis caused by endotracheal intubation [eight patients or tracheostomy [five patients ; and five patients caused by a variety of neoplastic lesions [four primary and one secondary . The length of tracheal stenosis were various from 1.5cm to 5.5cm and site of tracheal stenosis were cervical[17patients and thoracic [one patient . Operative techniques were tracheal resection and primary anastomosis[18 patients and additional procedures were cricoid cartilage reconstruction with costal cartilage [one patient , primary repair of esophagus[one patient and suprahyoid laryngeal release technique[eight patients without any complications. We have eight complications; tracheal restenosis were developed in five patients[growth of grannulation tissue at anastomotic site in three patients, delayed restenosis in two patients , anastomotic disruption in one patient, hoarseness and pneumonia in each of two patients. We managed tracheal complications with T-tube insertion in two patients, permanent tracheostomy in three patients and insertion of Gianturco tracheal stent in one patient, but tracheal stent did not reveal good result because it caused persistent production of sputum. We concluded that it is necessary to access full length of normal trachea including suprahyoid laryngeal release technique to avoid anastomotic tension in tracheal surgery and develope new ideal techniques to manage postoperative tracheal complications, because we suppose tracheal complications are developed due to anastomotic tension.

Between 1975 and 1992, forty five patients with trachea stenosis received tracheoplasty for relief of obstruction. The causes of airway problem are brain contusion[19 cases, 40%], cerebrovascular disease[3 cases, 7%], drug intoxication[8 cases, 18%], psychotic problem[2 cases, 4%], trachea tumor[3 cases, 7%], adult respiratory distress syndrome[9 cases, 20%] and direct trauma[1 case, 2%]. Direct causes of trachea stenosis were complications of tracheostomy[36 cases, 80%], complications of nasotracheal intubation[5 cases, 11%], tumor[3 cases, 6%] and trauma[1 case, 2%]. Thirty one patients underwent the sleeve resection and end-to-end anastomosis. Five patients performed a wedge resection and end-to-end anastomosis. Forteen patients received the Montgomery T-tube for relief of airway obstruction. Four patients have done simple excision of granulation tissue. Two, subglottic stenosis patients were received Rethi procedure[anterior division of cricoid cartilage, wedge partial resection of lower thyroid cartilage and Montgomery T-tube molding] and the other subglottic stenosis patient underwent permanent trachea fenestration. Including cervical flexion in all patients postoperatively, additional surgical techniques for obtain tension-free anastomosis were hyoid bone release technique in two cases, and hilar mobilization, division of inferior pulmonary ligament and mobilization of pulmonary vessel at the pericardium were performed in one case. Cervical approach was used in 39 cases, cervicomediastinal in 12 cases and transthoracic in one case. Complications of tracheoplasty were formation of granulation tissue at the anastomosis site[3 cases], restenosis[9 cases], trachea-innominate artery fistula[2 cases], wound infection[2 cases], separation of anastomosis[2 cases], air leakage[3 cases], injury to a recurrent laryngeal nerve[temporary 8 cases, permanent 2 cases] and hypoxemia[1 case]. Surgical mortality for resection with primary reconstruction was 6.7%, with one death due to postoperative respiratory failure and two deaths due to tracheo-innominate artery fistula.

Acromegalic patients can develop mild upper airway obstruction. However, the limitation of both vocal folds mobility developing dyspnea is rare. We report a case with bilateral vocal cord paralysis associated with acromegaly. The patient visited our clinic presenting dyspnea showing bilateral vocal cord hypomobility in laryngoscopy. The patient underwent a tracheostomy and a transsphenoidal resection of the pituitary adenoma. Thereafter, laser cordotomy with medial arytenoidectomy was done for the permanent treatment of glottal obstruction. The tracheotomy canula was successfully removed one month after the surgery.

흔히 응급상황에서 이루어지는 기관내삽관의 경우 무균적 조작의 중요성이 간과되어왔다. 특히 발관 후 발생하는 흡기성 천명음이 있을 때 먼저 발관 후 기관부종이나 기관협착을 고려하게 되고 세균성 기관염은 성인에서 보고된 예가 드물므로 간과되기가 쉽다. 그러나 저자들은 스테로이드 사용과 기관내삽관후 발생한 세균성 기관염을 경험하였으며 기관협착에 연관된 여러가지 후유증들을 고려할 때 기관내삽관시 무균적 조작이 필요할 것으로 사료되었다.

기관 삽관 후에 발생한 기관 협착에 대한 근본적 치료는 기관 부분 절제 및 단단 문합이다. 기관 협착에 대한 성공적이지 못한 교정으로 인해 발생하는 기관의 재협착에 대한 수술 치료는 쉽지 않다. 재수술이 실패할 경우 환자는 평생 기관절개 상태 및 목소리 소실을 안고 살아야 한다. 첫 번째 수술이 실패했을 경우 염증반응, 부종, 섬유화가 해소될 때까지 약 $4\~6$개월을 기다린 후 재수술을 시행해야 한다 환자의 상태에 대한 정확한 평가가 필요하며 일단 재수술의 후보자로 선정되면 재수술의 성공률은 $90\%$ 이상이다. 저자들은 기관 삽관으로 인해 발생한 기관 협착에 대해 성공적이지 못한 교정 후 발생한 기관의 재협착 2예에 대한 치험을 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

저자들은 1990년 12월부터 1999년 2월까지 48례의 경우에서 하인두에 발생한 악성종양을 광범위 절제한 후 유리피판 또는 근피판을 이용하여 재건하였다. 39례에서 유리공장 피판, 5례에서 유리전박 피판을 tubing 형태로 사용했으며, 2례에서는 유리전박 피판을 patch 형태로 사용하였고, 2례에서는 대흉근 근피판을 이용하여 경부식도를 재건하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 1. 하인두의 악성종양이 고령의 나이에 발생한다는 사실을 감안했을 때 유리전박 피판에 비해 급양공장루를 통해 조기에 영양섭취가 손쉬운 유리공장 피판이 환자의 상태를 정상으로 회복시키는데 장점이 있었다. 2. 술후 가장 흔한 합병증인 누공의 발생은 문합을 제대로 시행했을 경우 우려할 필요 없으며, 따라서 술후에 시행하는 식도조영검사는 누공의 증상이 있는 경우에만 선별적으로 실시해야 할 것이다. 3. 문합부 내경의 협착이 우려될 때는 직경이 큰 비강영양튜부(nasogastric tube)를 조기에 삽입하여 극단적인 협착을 감소시키고, 영양섭취 경로를 확보해야 한다. 4. 문합부 협착을 예방하기 위해 상하부 문합부 모두를 파형으로 도안하여 피판을 문합 봉합해야 하며, 협착이 의심스러울 때는 내시경검사를 시행하여 확진해야 한다. 5. 혈관문합은 유리전박 피판을 시행하는 경우에 있어서 수월하였으며, 유리공장 피판을 시행할 때는 술전에 정맥이식을 고려해야 한다.
