Resection and reconstruction via median sternotomy incision for tracheal tumors.

Surgical resection and reconstruction are effective and radical treatments for such conditions, but the approaches vary depending on the tumor location. The current report tends to illustrate the clinical practice and advantage of the median sternotomy approach for treating tracheal tumors.

Methods

We summarized and demonstrated four cases of tracheal tumors patients who received tracheal resection and reconstruction via median sternotomy approach in our institute.

Results

Two patients with lower tracheal tumors involving carina receive
