Advanced carcinoma of the lower neck with direct extension to the superior mediastinum is a major therapeutic challenge. Complete removal of the tumors requires a radical operation in order to remove the larynx, portions of trachea and esophagus, and to construct a tracheostomy stoma with intrathoracic trachea.We present our experience and technique ...

Tracheostomy tubes are placed for a variety of reasons, including failure to wean from mechanical ventilation, inability to protect the airway due to impaired mental status, inability to manage excessive secretions, and upper-airway obstruction. A tracheostomy tube is required in approximately 10% of patients receiving mechanical ventilation and allows
