J Med Assoc Thai. 2001 Dec;84(12):1772-4.

Abstract

Laryngotracheal stenosis is a sequel of laryngeal trauma. Many surgical techniques have been developed to correct this problem. Sometimes it requires a tracheal T-tube after the surgical correction. Here the authors report an unusual complication of tracheal T-tube and suggest a method for the management of this complication.
