Factors affecting the development of recurrence in patients who underwent tracheal resection due to tracheal stenosis.

Our results showed that the recurrence rate was higher in middle tracheal stenosis than in cricoid and first ring levels, although it did not reach statistical significance. There are studies in the literature arguing that proximal tracheal stenosis near the cricoid requires more complex surgical techniques, which increases recurrence rates.[ 29 ] Similarly, He et al.[ 30 ] identified that the location of the stenosis was a critical risk factor affecting the success of surgical interventions and that some locations were associated with worse outcomes due to anatomical difficulties.
