Congenital tracheal stenosis is an entity that causes acute airway obstruction and is associated with high morbidity and mortality due to diagnostic delay and its accompanying comorbidity. Slide tracheoplasty is the procedure of choice that traditionally requires the use of cardiopulmonary bypass to facilitate the tracheal reconstruction technique. There are no national reports of this tracheoplasty. With a modification to the original description, the surgical technique is described and a case report executed without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass. A review of the literature is proposed to guide the comprehensive approach and treatment.
