Abstract
A retrospective analysis of 101 children with tracheostomies, all performed for upper airway obstruction and who were decannulated in a single department, is reported. Persistent tracheo-cutaneous fistula occurred in 43% of patients and this was significantly related to age at tracheostomy and duration of tracheostomy. The operation of tracheo-cutaneous fistula closure is described.Entities:
