Reconstruction of the XXXX and stem bronchi with Neville prosthesis.

@entity1 @entity825 @entity738 @entity5 @entity260 @entity6184 @entity204
Fifty-four @entity1 with @entity6184 due to benign stricture and @entity5 underwent airway reconstruction with a molded Silicone prosthesis (Neville Prosthesis). In 40 @entity1 , the @entity825 was reconstructed with a straight prosthesis; of these 29 had a postintubation stricture and 11 a @entity5 . In the former group, there was one early death from erosion of the innominate artery and five late @entity204 from a variety of causes. The @entity260 were related to @entity738 at the anastomotic site in four @entity1 and were due to the use of non-absorbable suture material. @entity738 occurred in two @entity1 and were successfully treated with fulguration. The lesion was resected and the @entity825 reconstructed with the prosthesis in eight individuals, five of whom are alive, one to six years postoperatively. Of the three @entity1 , in whom the prosthesis served as an intraluminal stent, one who received irradiation is alive three years after operation. In 14 @entity1 , in whom a carinal resection was performed for @entity5 , five individuals are alive, from one to eleven years after surgery. There were four suture line @entity738 in the entire group. All of the @entity204 were attributable to residual or disseminated @entity5 .
