The airway is a crucial dynamic structure that spans different anatomical zones, including the intrathoracic, extrathoracic, tracheal, bronchial, and alveolar zones. Because of its vital role as the sole oxygen-conducting pathway to the alveoli, and hence to the human body, surgery involving any portion requires careful and specific planning by both the surgeon and the anesthesiologist. The review covers essential management points for proximal and distal tracheal procedures, including a discussion of tracheal stenting and tracheoplasty.
