The increasing use of endotracheal intubation in support of various surgical methods has resulted in more injury to the tracheal mucous membrane than was formerly supposed. Tracheal injury may result in fibrosis and narrowing of the trachea. When tracheal stenosis is of a sufficient degree to necessitate repeated bronchoscopies and dilations, the patient's time under medical care and total morbidity may be considerably lessened by aggressive approach, involving resection of the diseased portion of the trachea.
在支持各种手术方法时，气管插管的使用日益增加，这导致气管黏膜的损伤比以前认为的更多。气管损伤可能导致气管纤维化和狭窄。当气管狭窄程度足以需要反复进行支气管镜检查和扩张时，通过积极的方法，包括切除气管病变部分，可显著减少患者的医疗时间和总体发病率。
