A case of subglottic stenosis following endotracheal intubation in a child treated using a Silicone T-tube is reported.
During the placement of a T-tube, restenosis occurred after infection, and obstruction developed due to sputum. After approximately 100 days, the T-tube was removed. In children, however, using a Silicone T-tube is better using other techniques.
Care during T-tube insertion is very important, but advantages a Silicone T-tube has greater than other techniques in pediatric cases.
