[Z-shaped surgical flaps in the treatment of acquired glottic stenosis: case report]
Abstract:
The Authors report a case of laryngeal stenosis initially treated through cervicotomy with the application of an Eliachar prosthesis and finally resolved, after recurrence, with two Z-shaped mucosa flaps. The Authors feel that this method is worthy of note because: its is simple to perform; provides excellent flap vitality; makes a stent unnecessary; and, above all, provides positive results.

01:30Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation V: Advanced Airway Management Techniques
Airway management is essential in emergency and surgical medicine, ensuring ventilation and oxygenation in patients who cannot maintain their own airway. Clinicians use a range of techniques and devices to secure the airway, depending on the patient’s condition and the clinical context. Key methods include endotracheal intubation, rapid sequence intubation (RSI), supraglottic airway devices, and advanced visualization aids. In cases where these approaches fail, surgical airway interventions are...
01:21Tracheostomy Decannulation
Tracheostomy decannulation is a significant milestone in the liberation of mechanically ventilated patients. Despite its importance, there is no universally accepted protocol for this procedure. This demands an evidence-based, individualized approach.
Description of the Procedure
Decannulation refers to the permanent removal of the tracheostomy tube, signaling the resolution of the condition that initially necessitated the tracheostomy. The process requires a well-coordinated interplay between...
