Background: Suprastomal collapse (SSC) is considered a major late complication of paediatric tracheostomy and can be responsible for decannulation failure in up to 20% of tracheostomised children. Depending on the severity of SSC, surgery may be required. Various strategies and techniques are available, of which the treating with airway team should be aware.

Background: Suprastomal granulation tissue is a common complication of long-term tracheostomy. It may be associated with bleeding, aphonia, airway obstruction and delayed decannulation.
Methods: This study describes the experience of a tertiary paediatric medical centre with Coblation-assisted suprastomal granulation tissue excision.

We report an unusual case of a 14-month-old ex-28 week, ventilator-dependent male with a history of bronchopulmonary dysplasia and tracheostomy at 2 months of age. Lost to follow-up, at age 9 months, he presented to the emergency department with worsening respiratory distress. The patient was taken to the operating room at which time direct visualization of the airway demonstrated a mass filling the entire glottic inlet without supraglottic or pharyngeal mucosal attachments.

Objectives: In the present study, tracheal epithelial biopsy samples between intubated children, children with tracheostomy and a control group of non-intubated children are compared with respect to their degree of normal differentiation versus the presence of squamous metaplasia.
Methods: Tracheal epithelial biopsies were obtained from intubated neonates undergoing tracheostomy, children with tracheostomy undergoing suprastomal granuloma excision and non-intubated control children undergoing laryngoscopy and bronchoscopy. Paraffin tissue blocks were sectioned at 5 μm thickness and subjected to both routine Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining and immunostained with the relevant antibodies for markers of epithelial differentiation including B-tubulin, CC10, Muc5ac, P63, keratin5 and keratin14.
