NCT ID NCT06917222

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compares two surgical methods to fix a narrowed windpipe (tracheal stenosis) caused by injury or long-term breathing tube use. About 30 patients will receive either a slide tracheoplasty or a tracheal resection. The goal is to see which procedure has a higher success rate and fewer complications over three months.
