Comparing slide tracheoplasty and tracheal resection with anastomosis for acquired tracheal stenosis

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This interventional surgical comparison enrolls patients with symptomatic acquired high-grade (grade III–IV) tracheal or subglottic stenosis, and selected high-grade II cases after failed endoscopic therapy. Participants will undergo either slide tracheoplasty or tracheal resection with primary anastomosis according to the protocol and surgical judgment. Investigators will follow patients for outcomes such as airway patency, respiratory symptoms, perioperative complications, need for reintervention, and recovery over a planned follow-up period. The goal is to directly compare the safety and effectiveness of the two established surgical approaches for acquired tracheal narrowing.
