Management of post-thyroidectomy tracheomalacia

Abstract

Tracheomalacia is a heterogeneous and complex entity with no universally accepted definition and stratification. Historically, it is considered that patients with very large goiters are at risk of developing post-thyroidectomy tracheomalacia (PTTM). PTTM is a rare phenomenon and can be managed by either Noninvasive or invasive options.
