The Complex Tracheal Disease Service assesses and treats children with severe and rare conditions affecting the windpipe and air passages in the lungs, including a complex condition known as long segment tracheal stenosis.
This is a rare life-threatening condition affecting one in five million children and which causes the main air passage of the lung (the trachea) to become very narrow. A surgical operation called a slide tracheoplasty is performed, which involves reconstructing the trachea to create a new section of trachea.
