Abstract
Percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy was initially described by Ciaglia et al in 1985. Since that time, its popularity has increased, and it has become the procedure of choice in some institutions. Most studies comparing open versus percutaneous tracheostomy tube placement have shown either no statistical difference or fewer complications using the percutaneous method. At our institution, we have seen numerous cases of subglottic stenosis (SGS) following percutaneous tracheostomy tube placement which have required further intervention. The purpose of this study is to determine decannulation rates and predictive factors following endoscopic repair in patients with SGS resulting from percutaneous tracheostomy tube placement.
