Overview

In a case report we present a 59-year old patient with large goiter causing a respiratory insufficiency by tracheal compression in a place of previous tracheostomy. The resulting tracheal stenosis contraindicated surgical procedure under general anaesthesia. This condition was solved in cooperation with pneumologist. A tracheal stent insertion was followed by total thyroidectomy. The stent was removed four months after the surgery. Thereafter the patient had no breathing difficulties.
