Subglottic Stenosis

Benign tracheal stenosis is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition, typically resulting from fibroinflammatory scarring. It can be secondary to iatrogenic etiologies such as intubation or tracheostomy , as well as autoimmune diseases and being idiopathic. Patients typically undergoes endoscopic or surgical interventions to open up the airways. This project will analyze resected or biopsied tissue from patients with benign tracheal stenosis to define disease-specific RNA expression profiles.

Aim of the Work To compare the clinical outcomes between patients will undergo slide tracheoplasty and those will undergo tracheal resection anastomosis for acquired tracheal stenosis.

This study employs a multicenter, randomized controlled trial method, where patients meeting the inclusion criteria for subglottic stenosis are randomly divided into two groups. These groups are respectively undergoing translaryngeal endoscopic mucosal injection and ultrasound-guided injection of triamcinolone treatment. The comparison will focus on various indicators such as therapeutic effect, incidence of adverse reactions, treatment costs, and hospital resource utilization between the two groups. The safety and effectiveness will be compared to determine the relative merits of the two treatment methods.
