Abstract
One hundred and two patients underwent tracheal surgery to preserve or improve pulmonary and laryngeal functions. For pre- and post-operative functional examinations of tracheal stenotic patients, the flow volume curve and frequency analysis of tracheal stenotic sounds were very useful. As a results of tracheal surgery in 76 malignant cases, vocal cord stenosis due to bilateral laryngeal nerve paralysis was occurred in 21 patients. For vocal cord stenosis, T tube insertion was very effective and we were able to close the orifice of tracheostomy in 11 out of 15 cases by this method.
