“…Indications for stent therapy depend on the classification of the TBM, however, many clinical reports lack the classifications [6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. TBM can be classified into primary vs secondary, infantile vs adult, postoperative vs natural, crescent vs saber-sheath, Rayl's and Johnson's.…”

The tracheobronchial lumen has a continuous horseshoe arch morphology. We formed Z-stents accordingly to support the weakened cartilagenous portions. With this type of stent we treated a patient with acquired saber-sheath type tracheobronchomalacia (TBM), Rayl's type II, Johnson's grade III, whose condition was aggravated even under positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) therapy. The patient improved gradually. No immediate complication was observed. Bronchofiberscopic examination revealed that the tracheobronchial arcade was closely strut-braced and showed no expiratory collapse. Six months later, when the patient was intubated due to asthmatic attacks, tissue ingrowth through the stent was found and removed. There was no recurrence of TBM. The patient died 2 years later of pneumoconiosis.

“…The most difficult cases requiring stenting include diseases involving the main carina; however, these procedures are well established, and there are a number of stent options available including silicone, self-expandable and hybrid Y-stents [1,2,3]. The ultimate challenge is provided by disease beyond the main carina including the management of stenosis or obstruction at the right and left secondary carinae (RSC and LSC, respectively).…”

Its is the task of each medical specialty to develop guidelines for diagnosis and therapies. Examinations done by several specialties should follow a common consensus. A randomized survey at 70 German ENT departments investigated the current position of tracheobronchoscopy and esophagoscopy at each institution. Sixty questionnaires were evaluable. Altogether 8,295 tracheobronchoscopies and 10,404 esophagoscopies were performed. Thirty-six percent of all tracheobronchoscopies and 6% of all esophagoscopies were done with a flexible system. Approximately 58% of all tracheobronchoscopies and 55% of all esophagoscopies were performed for tumor staging. Complications during tracheobronchoscopy occurred in 0.8% of cases and in 0.58% of the esophagoscopies. Using these data an interdisciplinary quality assurance concept was developed for tracheobronchoscopy and esophagoscopy. Current experience has shown that a otolaryngologists in Germany mainly perform rigid tracheobronchoscopy and esophagoscopy. Although endoscopy is mostly done in cases with varied anatomic structures, complications are very rare and comparable to flexible techniques. Greater experience with flexible systems also is to be encouraged in ENT departments.
