Abstract EN
Background : Tracheal stenosis is more frequent as a result of wide-spread use of endotracheal intubation and tracheostomy.
Resection and tracheal reconstruction remain the treatment of choice in benign tracheal stenosis.
Objectives : To report our experience in Basra and to identify the result of anastomosis after tracheal resection and management of those patients preoperatively and postoperatively.
Methodology : A descriptive study of sixteen patients (aged 11–28 years, 10 male and 6 female) with tracheal stenosis who underwent tracheal resection and reconstruction in Basrah thoracic unit (Basra teaching hospital) from January 2008 to January 2011.
Results : The result was excellent in 62.5 %, good in 25 %, and satisfactory in 12.5 %.
Postoperative complication occurred in 25 % and treated successfully with no mortality.

Conclusion : Resection and tracheal reconstruction is the treatment of choice in benign tracheal stenosis and achieved excellent results in management of the patients.
