# Anesthetic Management of a 24-Year-Old Male With Tracheal Stenosis Planned for Tracheal Resection and Anastomosis: A Case Report

## TL;DR

This case report details the anesthetic care of a 24-year-old man with tracheal stenosis undergoing a complex surgical procedure.

## Contribution

The report highlights the anesthetic and airway management strategies for tracheal resection and anastomosis in a challenging clinical scenario.

## Key findings

- The patient had persistent symptoms despite bronchoscopic dilatations, necessitating surgical intervention.
- Multidisciplinary preoperative planning and close intraoperative communication were critical for successful anesthetic management.
- The case emphasizes the importance of tailored anesthetic approaches for patients with tracheal stenosis.

## Abstract

Tracheal resection and anastomosis are among the most challenging surgeries. Advancements in this field have made a variety of surgical, anesthetic, and airway management options possible. This procedure calls for multidisciplinary preoperative planning and close communication during surgery and recovery. Here, we present a case of a 24-year-old male who developed post-intubation tracheal stenosis. Repeated bronchoscopic dilatations were done for the same, but the symptoms persisted. Hence, the patient was planned for tracheal resection and anastomosis, the definitive surgical management. In this case report, we have discussed the anesthetic management of the same.
