Trachea and Bronchi
This single-center retrospective study examined 86 living-donor lobar lung transplant recipients who received 163 lobar grafts. Airway complications occurred in eight grafts (4.9 percent), all presenting as bronchial stenosis. Segmental perfusion defects on postoperative lung-perfusion...

Tracheal rupture after endotracheal intubation is uncommon, occurring in approximately 0.005 percent to 0.37 percent of intubations, yet it carries substantial morbidity and mortality when recognition is delayed. The risk...
Primary tracheal tumors are rare, with adenoid cystic carcinoma being a common subtype with a tendency for submucosal spread (1). Surgical resection with primary anastomosis is the standard treatment. Minimally...
This randomized crossover trial evaluated whether combining needle aspiration and forceps biopsy improves diagnostic yield compared to using a single device alone during electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) for peripheral pulmonary...
Impaction of a foreign body in the bronchus is common. Flexible bronchoscopy with use of a cryoprobe can be conveniently used to remove an impacted foreign body in the bronchus....
The authors present the bronchoscopic findings from a 58-year-old woman who was diagnosed with relapsing polychondritis. This video shows the results of a patch tracheoplasty, four years after the operation....
The authors have previously described a parenchymal-sparing sleeve resection of the bronchus intermedius for isolated strictures (1). Recently, they described a robotic parenchymal-sparing bronchus intermedius sleeve resection in a patient...
The patient was a 35-year-old woman who had reported experiencing an intermittent and really productive cough for several years that was very offensive and troublesome in nature. She also reported...
Anatomic sublobar resections have been used primarily for benign pulmonary lesions, lung metastases, and early stage lung cancer. There are many recent studies that support the oncological results of anatomic...
Stanifer and colleagues present a contemporary analysis of tracheal surgery in the US with the goal of identifying predictors of major morbidity and mortality. Tracheal resections reported in The Society...
A 4-year-old boy came to the emergency department with stridor. He had a 19-hour history of foreign body inhalation of a rosary bead. The authors performed a rigid bronchoscopy. They...
Patient Care and General Interest Surgeons at the Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi in the UAE used a metal stent for an emergency repair of a patient’s windpipe, which had been...
