I summarized the 116 cases of the tracheal and bronchial reconstruction which had been performed at the Japanese main hospitals during past several years. Having analized these cases statistically, I reported the results at the 20th Congress of the Japan Broncho-esophagological Society on Oct. 20th, 1968. The contents of my report can be summarized as follows: 1. Male and female cases were 58 repectively. People in their twenties were more frequently seen as patients than those in other age groups. 2. Tuberculous bronchial stenosis was most common, followed by traumatic bronchial rupture, bronchial neoplasms and the malignant lesion caused by the infiltration from the near organs. 3. In almost all of the cases, the circumferential resection and end-to-end anastomoses were performed successfully. It was believed that about 5cm of trachea and bronchi can be resected safely and restored its continuity with the primal anastomosis without a considerable risk. 4. Sutural materials used in the tracheal and bronchial anastomoses were cutgut, silk, nylon, tefdeck and wire. It was confirmed that silk is not suitable for the tracheo-bronchial surgery. 5. At the present stage, it is impossible to apply alloplastic practically in the clinical tracheo-bronchial surgery.
