Description
Bhavya Balaji and four co-authors describe clearing a blocked windpipe in a child in this two thousand twenty-four case report. Long ventilation and a tracheostomy can leave scar tissue, called granulation, inside the trachea. Large growths are usually cut out by surgery or treated through a scope. Their patient was a six-year-old boy whose windpipe had closed completely. The block followed a tube cuff injury and a long tracheostomy.
The team avoided open surgery. Across several sessions, they widened the passage with a rigid scope and froze the excess tissue with cryotherapy. The airway reopened by this unconventional route. The case offers an option when surgery is risky. Pediatric airway specialists are the readers.
