Abstract Background/aim Benign tracheal stenosis (TS) is a potentially life-threatening condition caused by iatrogenic events resulting from endotracheal intubation and tracheostomy. The study aimed to determine the clinical characteristics, management, and long-term outcomes of patients with simple or complex post-intubation tracheal stenosis (PITS) who were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Materials and methods Retrospective analysis of patients admitted to the ICU between June 2016 and June 2022 and diagnosed with PITS were performed until June 2023. Results 76 patients (mean age 54.9 ± 17.3%, 63.2% male, 61.8% complex stenosis) admitted to the ICU were analysed. The diagnosis of PITS was made by fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) in 53.9% and computed tomography (CT) in 46.1%. The most common location of stenosis was the upper trachea area (57.9%, n = 44). The median stenosis length of the TS was 1.9 cm (median 2 cm for complex stenosis, 1 cm for simple stenosis, p |
