Abstract:
A 20 year old woman had developed stenosis at the lower part of the trachea, right main bronchus, and right upper lobe bronchus as a complication of endobronchial tuberculosis. The patient had complained of severe dyspnea. Tracheobronchial stenosis was so extensive that we did reconstruction of the trachea and right bronchus with resection of the lower trachea and right main bronchus and right upper lobectomy. She has been doing well without any respiratory symptoms or complications.
