Abstract
Tracheal access, accidental deccannulation, peristomal granulation, stenosis and difficult weaning are the laryngologist’s dilemma, wherever tracheostomy has been resorted to, in the paediatric age group. These major problems necessitate a modification in the procedure of tracheostomy where ‘stay’ and ‘maturation’ sutures are utilized. The stay sutures facilitate a quick midline tracheotomy and the maturation ones minimise parastomal granulation and easy tracheal recannulation.
