Abstract
Trachea stenosis is observed either in benign or malignant situations. In cancer malignancy a tumor might obstruct the central airway in three different ways. Again granuloma tissue is usually observed after intubation or stent placement in order to manage a benign malformation of the trachea. In any case there are several tools and techniques that can be used either with surgery or endoscopically to manage such situation. We will focus on a hybrid technique in order to ventilate the patient while performing endoscopic management of granuloma tissue. Keywords: Trachea, Balloon dilation, Rigid scope, Endoscopy
