Tracheostomy is an opening made at the front of the neck so a tube can be placed into the windpipe to assist your breathing.

A tracheotomy is most commonly done in an operating room with general sedation, which makes you unaware about the surgery. A local anesthetic to numb the neck and throat is utilized if the specialist is worried over the airway being compromised from general sedation or on the other hand if the procedure is being done in a hospital room rather than operating room. Dr. Gouda Ramesh is well experienced in ENT treatment in Kukatpally.

The type of procedure you go through relies upon why you need a tracheostomy and whether the procedure was planned. There are two choices:

Surgical tracheotomy:It can be done in an operated room or in a hospital room. The surgeon makes a horizontal cut through the skin at the lower part of the front of your neck. The encompassing muscles are carefully pulled back and a small part of the thyroid gland is cut, exposing the windpipe. At a particular spot on your windpipe close to the base of your neck, the specialist makes a tracheostomy hole.

Minimally invasive tracheotomy (percutaneous tracheotomy) is done in a hospital room. The specialist makes a small cut close to the base of the front of the neck. A special lens is fed through the mouth so the specialist can see within the throat. Utilizing this view of the throat, the surgeon directs a needle into the windpipe to make the tracheostomy hole, then extends it to the appropriate size for the tube.

For both the procedures, the specialist places a tracheostomy tube into the hole. A neck strap connected to the face plate of the tube holds it back from slipping out of the hole and impermanent stitches can be utilized to secure the faceplate to the skin of your neck.
