Granulation tissue hyperplasia was observed in 18 cases and was treated with endoscopic laser cauterization and\/or forceps removal. Anastomotic scar contracture occurred in 34 cases and was treated with endoscopic balloon dilatation. Severe tracheomalacia affecting ventilation was identified in 43 patients, among whom 9 required tracheal silicone stent implantation. A total of 251 surviving children were followed up for 1\u201356 months (median: 13 months). Two children with preoperative bronchiolitis obliterans remained dependent on intermittent oxygen therapy at the final follow-up. Respiratory symptoms were significantly improved in the remaining survivors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
