Age-related difficulty in post-intubation tracheal stenosis reconstruction: a comparative analysis of CO2-laser, resection and anastomosis, and costal cartilage grafting techniques

Abstract Background Costal cartilage graft (CCG) sustains primary donor material for laryngotracheal reconstruction in patients with post-intubation tracheal stenosis (PITS). But, the elasticity and viability of CCG decrease elderly. This study was aimed to examine the age factor in PITS cases accor...
