    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Surgical Innovation
    • Respiratory Medicine

    Background:

    • Tracheostoma stenosis is a potential complication following laryngectomy.
    • Maintaining an adequate stomal size is crucial for patient well-being.
    • Challenges include ensuring proper ventilation, cleaning, and speech rehabilitation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate a simple surgical technique for preventing or correcting tracheostoma stenosis.
    • To assess the long-term efficacy of the technique in maintaining stomal patency.

    Main Methods:

    • A specific, simple surgical technique was applied during laryngectomy procedures.
    • Patient outcomes were monitored for stomal size and related functions.

    Main Results:

    • The surgical technique was employed in 48 patients undergoing laryngectomy.
    • A high success rate of 96% was achieved in maintaining adequate stomal size.
    • Adequate stomal size facilitated cleaning, ventilation, and tracheoesophageal fistula speech restoration.

    Conclusions:

    • The described surgical technique is a simple and effective method for managing tracheostoma stenosis.
    • This approach significantly improves post-laryngectomy patient outcomes by ensuring stomal patency.
    • The technique supports essential functions including breathing and speech restoration.
