Article Abstract
Tracheocutaneous fistula is a frequent sequel of long-term tracheostomy or tracheal fenestration. Closure of fistula is complicated by the presence of extensive scar tissue, mucopurulent secretions, and tension from insufficient advancement of adjacent soft tissue. We report two successfully closed cases of large tracheocutaneous fistulae using a hinge flap and a V-Y advancement flap.

Background: Children with cancer face a high risk of complications including prolonged mechanical ventilation requiring tracheostomies. While tracheostomies have been demonstrated to be a generally safe procedure, there remain significant rare complications and a paucity of literature addressing outcomes specifically for pediatric patients with cancer. The objective of this study was to characterize pediatric patients with cancer who underwent tracheostomies and describe their indications and outcomes for length of stay, decannulation, and complications.

Background: Various methods for closing tracheocutaneous fistulas have been reported; however, there is no established consensus. This study reports the successful closure of a large tracheocutaneous fistula using a Modified Hinge Flap and DP flap.
Methods: Between July 2014 and December 2023, four patients underwent a modified hinge flap and DP flap for tracheocutaneous fistula at a single center.

Persistent tracheo-cutaneous fistulae necessitate a closure with pedicled or free flaps. The modality adopted is to reconstitute the anterior tracheal wall without compromising the tracheal lumen. We have developed the lateral U advancement Burrow's flap over the strap muscles and tracheal lateral fibrous flaps, to repair a large trachea-cutaneous fistula.

Background: Sleeve resection with end-to-end anastomosis (Procedure A) and window resection with a tracheocutaneous fistula (Procedure B) are the major surgical procedures for patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) exhibiting transluminal tracheal invasion. For each procedure, the indications, postoperative course, and treatment results were examined retrospectively.
Methods: Of 1,456 patients with PTC (maximum tumor diameter >1 cm) who received initial treatment between 1993 and 2013, we reviewed 51 patients.
Pediatric tracheostomy decannulation: what's the evidence?
Curr Opin Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg

Texas Children's Hospital, Houston, TX, USA.
Purpose Of Review: Pediatric decannulation failure can be associated with large morbidity and mortality, yet there are no published evidence-based guidelines for pediatric tracheostomy decannulation. Tracheostomy is frequently performed in medically complex children in whom it can be difficult to predict when and how to safely decannulate.
Recent Findings: Published studies regarding pediatric decannulation are limited to reviews and case series from single institutions, with varying populations, indications for tracheostomy, and institutional resources.
