    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Oncology
    • Thoracic Surgery

    Background:

    • Tracheostoma construction is a critical step in managing airway obstruction and facilitating mechanical ventilation.
    • Conventional techniques may have limitations in specific anatomical scenarios.

    Observation:

    • A novel technique utilizing a deltopectoral flap for tracheostoma creation is described.
    • This approach allows for direct access to the superior mediastinum.

    Findings:

    • The deltopectoral flap provides a reliable method for tracheostoma construction.
    • This technique is particularly advantageous for low tracheal resections.

    Implications:

    • This method offers a viable surgical option for complex airway reconstructions.
    • It may improve outcomes in patients requiring extensive tracheal surgery.
