Silicone stents are widely used to treat benign or malignant airway stenosis. However, since straight silicone stents placed into the subglottic trachea to treat stenosis display a high risk of migration, novel approaches are required. The present report outlines our method of external fixation for silicone stents in the subglottic trachea. This technique utilizes a fixation apparatus, is readily performed, and may help to overcome the hesitation seen in placing silicone stents for subglottic tracheal stenosis.
硅酮支架被广泛用于治疗良性或恶性气道狭窄。然而,由于将直的硅酮支架置入声门下气管治疗狭窄时显示出较高的移位风险,因此需要新的方法。本报告概述了我们在声门下气管中对硅酮支架进行外部固定的方法。该技术使用一种固定装置,操作简便,可能有助于克服在放置硅酮支架治疗声门下气管狭窄时所见到的顾虑。
