Unravelling the Complexity of Congenital Tracheal Stenosis with ‘O’ Rings

Slide tracheoplasty remains the preferred technique for long-segment CTS, offering structural and functional restoration. Short-segment disease can be effectively managed with segmental resection and anastomosis. Prognosis could be influenced by stenosis length, associated comorbidities, and prior interventions, but larger studies would be needed to achieve adequate statistical power. Careful preoperative evaluation, tailored surgical planning, and attentive postoperative care are vital for optimal outcomes. Surgical intervention may be warranted even in select mildly symptomatic patients to prevent progression to life-threatening airway compromise.
