Treatment results and postoperative complications were compared between adolescent and adult groups.Results: Overall, anastomotic and non-anastomotic complication rates in the adolescent group and the adult group were 40%, 40%, 10% and 63%, 44.4%, 33.3%, respectively. Overall treatment success rates based on tracheostomy tube and tracheal stent free status were 90% and 92.6% in adolescent and adults, respectively.Conclusion: Treatment success rates and incidence of anastomotic complications were found similar in patients under the age of 19 years and adult patients who underwent single-stage tracheal resection and end to end anastomosis for treatment of post-intubation tracheal stenosis.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTo-end anastomosisManagementGeneral otorhinolaryngologyHead and neck surgeryIntubationLaryngologyPediatric otorhinolaryngologySurgeryTracheaTracheal stenosisOtorhinolaryngologyArticle0008006075000011860110.4274/tao.2022.2022-2-8
