Background: Patients with a permanent tracheostomy requiring coronary surgery represent a unique challenge, being at increased risk of sternal wound complications, mediastinitis and stoma necrosis. Several techniques have been described including manubrium sparing sternotomy, thoracoscopic internal mammary harvest and hybrid revascularisation.
Methods: We report a case of robotic assisted (daVinciXi™ Surgical System) total arterial off-pump revascularisation in a patient with previous laryngectomy and permanent tracheostomy. The main advantage of this approach was to minimise the risk of postoperative sternal complication and mediastinatis, whilst still providing the prognostic benefit of total arterial grafting and the neurological advantage of the aorta no-touch technique.

Quality of life improvement in 3 dogs with sleep-disordered breathing managed by permanent (crico)tracheostomy.
Am J Vet Res
December 2024
Department of Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY.
Objective: To retrospectively describe the management of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) via permanent (crico)tracheostomy (PT).
Methods: The sample was 3 client-owned dogs. Each of the dogs had variable clinical signs related to their SDB with all having severely affected quality of sleep and experiencing multiple apneic episodes a night in the study period from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2023.

Article Synopsis
- Tracheostomy can be necessary for children with mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) due to challenging airways, and this review focuses on its indications, surgical details, complications, and outcomes.
- A systematic review of 9 studies involving 34 children with MPS undergoing tracheostomy showed common indications included airway obstruction and failed intubation, with MPS II being the most prevalent type.
- Although tracheostomy can be effective for maintaining airway patency, complications are common and a multidisciplinary approach is recommended to minimize risks and manage care effectively.
Discharge destination following elective and emergency surgical tracheostomies in head and neck cancer patients.
Auris Nasus Larynx

Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Monash Health, VIC 3168, Australia; Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences, Monash University, VIC 3800, Australia.
Objectives: Tracheostomy in the setting of head and neck cancer may be performed either electively for prophylactic airway protection in an ablative procedure, or as an emergency due to impending airway obstruction in the setting of an obstructing upper aerodigestive tract malignancy. Tracheostomy care has biopsychosocial implications, which may require a higher level of care from carers, post-acute care, or placement into care facilities. Existing database studies have largely excluded patients with a history of head and neck cancer.

Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol

Department of Family and Community Medicine, Faculty of Medicine Rabigh, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the efficacy of various glottic widening procedures (GWPs) in avoiding tracheostomy in infants with bilateral vocal cord paralysis (BVCP).
Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library from inception to July 2023, without any timeframe limitations. Studies reporting GWPs (Endoscopic anterior-posterior cricoid split, Botox injection, suture lateralization, and other procedures including laser posterior cordotomy/arytenoidectomy) in infants with BVCP were included.
Transoral laser microsurgery for supraglottic carcinomas: results of a prospective multicenter trial (SUPRATOL).

Article Synopsis
- A study referred to as SUPRATOL investigated the effects of transoral laser microsurgery for supraglottic laryngectomy, comparing its outcomes for swallowing and quality of life to traditional open surgery, revealing similar oncologic results but limited data on swallowing rehabilitation and QoL before this trial.
- The trial included 102 patients across 26 hospitals in Germany, with the main goal of measuring aspiration-free swallowing after one year and exploring various related factors such as tracheostomy needs and overall survival.
- Results showed high rates of aspiration-free swallowing at the 12-month mark, with a majority of patients still managing well with swallowing, although some required tracheostomy and PEG tube interventions, indicating mixed results on QoL
