The efficacy of topical mitomycin-C in the treatment of benign tracheal stenosis: A comparative study
Mitomycin-C is helpful to decrease the tracheal re-stenosis percentage changes and the number of repeated dilations in patients with benign tracheal stenosis. It also decreases the median re-stenotic segment lengths which may be crucial for limited reserve surgery in tracheal resections. Taken together, MMC is a cost-effective, time-saving and tracheal-sparing treatment in patients with benign tracheal stenosis.
