Patient's question:
Description of the problem: The hospital examination stated that there is congenital tracheal stenosis, but no solution was provided. Please ask how it should be treated, and what is the best age for surgery if surgery is performed! Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, for benign stenosis, we can consider using bronchoscopy-guided balloon dilation as a treatment method. If the stenosis is temporary, such as that caused by granulation tissue due to foreign bodies in the trachea, after removing the foreign body through bronchoscopy, we can observe that the granulation tissue disappears quickly. If the stenosis is malignant, malignant stenosis primarily refers to stenosis caused by tumors or malignant tumors. In this case, the treatment is more complex. In addition to whether the tumor can be resected or surgically treated, we also need to consider bronchoscopy-guided interventional therapy.
