Bronchoscopic submucosal dissection with Hybrid Knife: a new technique treating tracheal leiomyoma

Abstract: Primary tracheal leiomyoma is exceedingly rare and recommended management has not been defined yet. Surgical management has been considered to be the standard treatment historically. Bronchoscopic intervention may be an ideal alternative for patients who refuse or are not fit for surgery. We report the first bronchoscopic submucosal dissection using an innovative water-jet Hybrid Knife performed on a patient with recurrent primary tracheal leiomyoma.

“…Additionally, the submucosal water cushion formed by the hybrid knife acts as a protective barrier for the surrounding tissue and reduces the perforation risk. Previous use of the hybrid knife has shown promising outcomes after the resection of recurrent lesions of benign tracheal tumors in two patients ( 16 , 22 ). This procedure involves the creation of a submucosal tunnel using a water jet, followed by circumferential dissection of the lesion.…”
