The total laryngectomy procedure involves the removal of all laryngeal structures and a section of the upper trachea, which leads to disconnection of the airway and a permanent breathing hole in the neck (tracheostoma).
Tracheotomy, a procedure in which an incision is made through the front of the neck into the trachea to allow placement of a breathing tube. The purpose of a tracheotomy is to promote respiration by bypassing an obstruction in the upper airway or by addressing a poorly functioning trachea.
25 Οκτ 2022 · A laryngectomy, defined as removal of all laryngeal structures and a portion of upper trachea, has been described for over 100 years. For much of human history, laryngeal cancers were deemed a terminal diagnosis, given challenges with rerouting the respiratory and alimentary frameworks in a safe and durable manner following surgical extirpation.
In this article, tracheal anatomy is reviewed and points critical to the thoracic surgeon are highlighted. The structure and location of the trachea, the blood supply to the trachea, and the trachea’s spatial relationship to critical mediastinal organs are presented.
27 Οκτ 2022 · Laryngeal surgery aims at the improvement or restoration of laryngeal function (i.e., phonation, airway protection during deglutition, and airway patency) and at the removal of neoplastic alteration of benign or malignant growths. Essentially, laryngeal surgery can be done transorally or via an external approach.
