Purpose: Tracheal resection with end-to-end anastomosis (TREE) has many advantages over conservative treatment in terms of long-term results; however, this method requires improved safety and accessibility. We aimed to combine expanded venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) during TREE surgery. Materials and Methods: Between May 2006 and December 2022, 41 patients diagnosed with tracheal stenosis or tracheal tumors underwent TREE. The non-ECMO and ECMO groups were classified based on the presence or absence of intraoperative ECMO support. Results: Reconstruction length was slightly longer in the ECMO group than in the non-ECMO group, but there was no statistical significance (p=0.082). There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of operative time (p=0.698), estimated blood loss (p=0.210), and duration of mechanical ventilation (p=0.713). There was a significant difference in intensive care unit stay between the two groups (p=0.013) due to the postoperative maintenance of ECMO. There were no cases of early mortality in either group during hospitalization (p>0.999). Conclusion: ECMO support could assist in more challenging cases as it makes surgery easier in difficult patient scenarios.
