Tracheal stenosis is frequent complication of the general endotracheal anaesthesia and prolonged tracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation of the critically ill. Incidence of the iatrogenic tracheal stenosis surmounts 9%. Authors discuss probable mechanisms of the pathologic alterations of trachea, leading to stenosis of airways due to pathological changes.
