Abstract:
Spiral anastomosis was used in 1 patient with recurrent thyroid carcinoma and in another patient with secondary thyroid carcinoma, both involving the right posterolateral wall of the trachea, 3.5 cm and 4 cm, respectively. Before anastomosis was done, both tracheal ends were separated from the esophagus by 2 cm and were rotated by 90 degrees in opposite directions: one clockwise and the other counterclockwise. These 2 patients obtained good patency and received healing of the tracheal anastomosis. Spiral tracheoplasty can reduce the tension at the anastomotic site of the trachea after tangential wall resection.

Venturi Mask
The Venturi mask, named after the Venturi effect, is designed to deliver precise oxygen concentrations. It consists of a large tube with an oxygen inlet that narrows down, causing a pressure drop that pulls air in through adjustable side ports. The mask is a lightweight,...
