In the treatment of the acute respiratory failure, ventilatory support with endotracheal intubation or tracheostomy is a life saving procedure in many cases but the development of postintubation tracheal stenosis is a very serious complication. Recently we have experienced one case of postintubation tracheal stenosis which occurred in the region of cuff site. Preoperative tracheogram showed a concentric stricture 3.0 cm in length located 4.0 cm proximal to the carina. Under the general anesthesia, the stenotic segment was resected and end-to-end anastomosis was performed successfully through the right posterolateral thoractomy. Her postoperative course was uneventful and the patient has remained well till now.
