Abstract
Background: Benign central airway stenosis poses a significant challenge to respiratory and thoracic surgeons due to the high recurrence rate associated with current treatment methods, causing severe breathing difficulties and potentially life-threatening complications. This article aims to investigate the therapeutic efficacy and prospects of using coblation in the management of benign central airway stenosis in adults. Moreover, the pathogenesis of benign central airway stenosis was deeply explored to provide better guidance for future clinical treatments. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study examined patients with benign central airway stenosis who were treated at The Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from 2017 to 2020. In addition, a comparative analysis of whole-genome sequencing was conducted between the aforementioned patient group and healthy populations to investigate the underlying etiology of this stenotic condition. Results: The present study encompassed 32 patients who underwent 43 treatments in total between 2017 and 2020. All patients exhibited alleviation of airway stenosis and an improvement in clinical symptoms following surgery, without any significant surgical or postoperative complications. Whole-genome analysis revealed significant changes in gene expression in the airway mucosa of patients with benign airway stenosis in comparison to healthy populations. A total of 91 differentially expressed genes were identified, among which 44 upregulated genes displayed characteristics of promoting inflammatory responses. Conclusion: Coblation demonstrates promise as an efficacious treatment modality for adults suffering from benign central airway stenosis, and its widespread application in clinical settings is anticipated. The direct pathogenesis of benign central airway stenosis involves airway lumen narrowing and obstruction resulting from excessive inflammation and proliferative granulation.
