Résumé
We report a series of four patients with severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) who underwent posterior tracheopexy for severe tracheomalacia (TM). While posterior tracheopexy is an established surgical treatment for TM associated with tracheoesophageal fistula, it has not been previously described in TM associated with BPD. There were no significant intraoperative or postoperative complications from the surgeries. Three of the four patients required tracheostomy and mechanical ventilation, which may reflect the degree of lung disease and other multisystem comorbidities in these patients. More investigation is needed to determine whether posterior tracheopexy is an effective surgical option for TM related to BPD.
