[Current endoscopic treatments for cicatricial stenoses of the trachea].

Endoscopic techniques in the treatment of patients with cicatricial stenoses of the trachea have become customary in clinical practice. They may be used alone and in combination with open surgery. The present paper discusses various endoscopic therapy modalities. The long-term results of stenting of the trachea for its stenosis are recent and of practical importance, which permits revision of the established opinion on this treatment option.
