Synopsis

Intended for paediatricians and general surgeons, this book focuses on the management of congenital tracheal stenosis in infants. Coverage includes diagnosis and the technical aspects of operative management, as well as perioperative care, post-operative rehabilitation, and the ethical care of such problems. The author describes congenital stenosis of the tracheobronchial tree without cardiopulmonary bypass, explains innovations and research in the management of difficult-to-correct tracheobronchial stenosis, and all options for repair, and presents new material on embryology. Features include radiographs, and case summaries demonstrating difficulties. Lobe examines the failures and complications, and illustrates many of the pitfalls which can be avoided in managing these patients.
