The stenosis is found radiologically and endoscopically at the level of the cricoid cartilage without involvement of the cricoid or tracheal cartilage itself. The disease practically only affects women between the ages of 20 and 60. The same clinical picture occurs in granulomatosis with polyangiitis and less frequently in other autoimmune diseases, where it requires systemic treatment. The clinical picture usually begins insidiously with coughing and sputum production and leads to dyspnoea and a restricted cough. As the course is insidious and the patients are otherwise healthy, the symptoms are often misinterpreted and the diagnosis is delayed. Treatment consists of local measures, ranging from dilatation and laser surgical resection, sometimes with local application of medication to inhibit the proliferation of new scar tissue, to laryngotracheal resection of varying degrees. The disease is located in the border area between the trachea and larynx and the patients are therefore treated by ENT medicine, pneumology and thoracic surgery.</p>","PeriodicalId":23956,"journal":{"name":"Zentralblatt fur Chirurgie","volume":" ","pages":"308-314"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139742179","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The colon is a reliable organ for tubular replacement of the oesophagus when the stomach is not available for reconstruction. Colon interposition is a complex and complicated operation. It requires a specific indication and thorough preoperative preparation. From a technical point of view, colon interposition places high demands on the selection and surgical dissection of the vascular supply to the reconstructed organ. The reconstruction route and elevation of the interposition graft to the proximal oesophagus and the need to create 3 or 4 gastrointestinal anastomoses also place significantly higher demands than reconstruction using a gastric tube. Overall, despite the significant surgery-related morbidity, good functional results and a good quality of life can usually be achieved.
