Subglottic tracheal benign stenosis (STBS) refers to subglottic airway narrowing caused by damage to the normal tracheal wall structure by non-neoplastic diseases, leading to symptoms such as coughing, sputum, and breathing difficulty. Airway stenosis occurs in the upper trachea below the glottis, severely affecting the patient’s quality of life and occasionally resulting in death due to respiratory failure. STBS is mainly caused by long-term tracheal intubation, tracheotomy, tracheobronchial tuberculosis, trauma, infection, congenital malformations, or inflammatory lesions. With improved surgical techniques, the incidence of secondary benign airway stenosis caused by tracheal intubation and tracheotomy is increasing, as is the incidence of STBS. Among critical patients on intensive care unit (ICU) mechanical ventilation, the incidence of tracheal benign stenosis is reported to be approximately 1% (1). STBS manifestations are complex. Radical surgical resection and reco...
