    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Otolaryngology
    • Respiratory Medicine

    Background:

    • Tracheostomy is a common procedure in children requiring airway management.
    • The flap technique is one method used for creating a tracheostomy.
    • Assessing the safety and long-term outcomes of this technique in pediatric patients is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and complication rates of the flap technique in pediatric tracheostomies.
    • To assess the long-term outcomes and potential sequelae after decannulation.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 47 pediatric patients who underwent tracheostomy using the flap technique.
    • Analysis of immediate complications, mortality, and decannulation difficulties.
    • Long-term clinical reexamination and tracheography in 20 patients (4-10 year follow-up).

    Main Results:

    • Overall mortality was 32% (28% from underlying disease, 4% from tracheostomy complications).
    • Primary complication rate was 19%, including 2 deaths, difficult decannulation in 4 patients, and individual cases of bleeding, infection, and tracheocutaneous fistula.
    • Long-term follow-up revealed minimal tracheal stenosis (1 case) and slight wall depressions (2 cases).

    Conclusions:

    • The flap technique for pediatric tracheostomy demonstrates an acceptable safety profile when performed correctly.
    • While immediate complications can occur, long-term sequelae appear to be infrequent and minor.
    • The flap technique is a viable and safe option for pediatric tracheostomies.
