    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Innovation
    • Respiratory Medicine
    • Otolaryngology

    Background:

    • Tracheostomy is a common procedure for airway management.
    • Existing tracheostomy methods can lead to complications and side effects.
    • A need exists for improved, stable, and reversible tracheal stoma creation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate a new technique for creating a permanent, wide, and stable tracheal stoma.
    • To assess the efficiency, practicality, tolerability, and reversibility of this novel method.
    • To compare the outcomes of this technique with traditional tracheostomy.

    Main Methods:

    • The technique involves creating two corresponding U-shaped flaps.
    • One flap is fashioned from the anterior tracheal wall.

  • The second flap is created from the skin in the suprasternal notch area.

    • Main Results:

    • The U-flap technique proved to be efficient and practical in clinical application.
    • The procedure was well-tolerated by all eight patients in the study.
    • The tracheal stoma created was stable, wide open, and readily reversible.
    • The follow-up period exceeded two years with positive outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • This U-flap technique offers an effective and well-tolerated method for tracheal stoma creation.
    • The described method may reduce the side effects and complications associated with standard tracheostomy.
    • The reversibility of the stoma is a significant advantage for selected patients.
