Özet

Silicone stents are frequently used in tracheal stenosis cases where tracheal resection is not feasible due to the patient's overall condition. However, stent migration is a significant complication. Various techniques have been developed to prevent this issue, one of which is external stabilization of the stent to the trachea. In this study, we aim to present a case in which we applied external stabilization of a tracheal stent.
