OBJECTIVES A tension-free anastomosis is crucial to minimize the risk of airway
complications after laryngotracheal surgery. The 'guardian'chin stitch is placed to prevent …

Fixation of the chin to the anterior chest wall is the most commonly used method of reducing
anastomotic tension following a segmental resection of the trachea and reconstruction with …

Objectives To present our experience with two methods of neck stabilization after pediatric
tracheal resection with primary anastomosis as possible alternatives to the traditional chest …

Objectives We aimed to investigate the histologic effects of N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA)
and metacryloxisulfolane (MS) comonomer on tracheal anastomosis in vivo on a rat model …

Maintaining neck flexion after tracheal or cricotracheal resection with primary anastomosis is
critical to prevent tension-induced anastomotic failure. The chest to chin (also known as the …

Objective: Tracheal stenosis is usually iatrogenic, a result of an accident or due to tracheal
tumors. Anesthesia for tracheal resection and reconstruction is a challenging job and …

Traumatic tracheobronchial laceration can be potentially life-threatening and pose
significant challenges for anaesthetic management. We would like to share our experience …

Method A Minerva CTO is customized to reduce anastomotic tension. The mandibular
extension is removed, occipital extension is recontoured, plastic is trimmed, and a perineal …
