Abstract:Objective This study explores the research progress on the surgical resection of cervical tracheal tumors and the reconstruction of cervical trachea. Methods In the Chinese and English databases, such as CNKI, China Medical Journal Full-text Database, Wanfang, SinoMed, and PubMed, 5 285 articles on cervical tracheal tumors and cervical tracheal reconstruction published before March 2023 were searched. At total of 57 articles were included after duplicates and articles with low relevance, unavailability, low quality, or lack of innovation were excluded. The selected articles were analyzed to summarize various surgical techniques, and on the basis of clinical experience, the advantages, technical details, and applicability of different surgical approaches for cervical tracheal tumors were explored. Results For the surgical treatment of cervical tracheal tumors, completely removing the tumor while maintaining airway integrity was essential. The main surgical challenge lies in the reconstruction of the airway after complete tumor resection, and some scholars achieved localized improvements in recent years. The key factors in cervical tracheal surgery include the physiological characteristics of the trachea, the anatomical vascular supply, and the control of anastomotic tension. The surgical methods of cervical tracheal tumors, including tumor resection and airway reconstruction, were divided into short- and long-segment surgical treatments in accordance with the extent of invasion. The surgical treatment of short segmental tracheal tumors (length of tracheal defect after resection ≤ 6 cm) with length ≤ 5 cm and tracheal circumference ≤ 50% formed a relatively fixed model on the basis of different indications, including sleeve resection with end-to-end anastomosis, window-type tracheal resection, and endoscopic local resection. The development of tracheal transplantation and artificial trachea technology provides potential solutions for complex cases involving long-segment tracheal defects (length > 6 cm). Conclusion Comprehensive treatment based on surgery is the main treatment mode for cervical tracheal tumor. Personalized treatment and multidisciplinary cooperation play a pivotal role in the radical resection of cervical tracheal tumors and the reconstruction of the normal physiological function of the trachea.
