Abstract
When a cuffed tube is used for tracheal cannulation, tracheal stenosis often occurs at the region corresponding to the cuff which may cause detubation difficulty. Such cases are reported in many papers but these troubles seem to show no decrease in frequency, and there has been no recommendable treatment for these patients.
Surgical treatment has both merits and demerits. Recently, we succeeded in conservative treatment of these cases after 1 to 1.5 years. The results obtained are presented here.
The authors report the conservative treatment in detail.
