Mediastinal Tracheostomy

Abstract

Tracheostomy is possibly the most widely recognized and most established surgery performed, opening the trachea’s anterior wall to permit a patient to breathe. The mediastinal tracheostomy (MT) is used to create a tracheostomy toward the front of the chest. This strategy requires a laryngectomy related to the upper sternum’s evacuation, the middle third of the clavicles, also at the end, the first and second ribs’ proximal thirds. Not many specialists have broad experience with this method because of its intricacy, externality, and high mortality relationship. Each surgeon managing head and neck malignancies ought to be very aware of the procedures to build up a mediastinal stoma if the situation requires it. A satisfactory airway route setup through an end stoma after resectioning laryngotracheal tumors with the proximal tracheal association is consistently a test for a surgeon. This procedure offers sensibly protected and reliable methods for tumors previously viewed as inoperable. This chapter depicted the signs, plausibility, outcomes, and mediastinal tracheostomy methods.
