Abstract: 
Introduction: Tracheal stenosis is a rare, but serious complication that often occurs following tracheal intubation or tracheostomy. This study aimed to evaluate the causes, symptoms, and complications of therapeutic methods in patients with treated tracheal stenosis Analysis.
Material and methods: In this descriptive retrospective study, patients who had undergone tracheal stenosis were evaluated for its cause, the cause of endotracheal intubation, the duration of intubation, types of treatment, length of hospital stay, and postoperative complications.80 patients were included in the study.
Result and Discussion: The most common cause of tracheal stenosis was endotracheal intubation (57.5%). Among 41 patients with a history of tracheostomy, 34 patients underwent late tracheostomy and 7 patients underwent early tracheostomy. Recurrence of stenosis was the most common complication of tracheal stenosis treatment (surgery), respectively.
Conclusion: The prolonged endotracheal intubation is the most common cause of endotracheal stenosis, therefore, early tracheostomy is recommended to be done on patients with predicted long-term endotracheal intubation.
