@EN Although the most common predisposing condition was upper respiratoy tract obstruction, the conditions of secretional ventilatory insufficiency and mechanically disabled respiration has increased gradually.
The ratio of male to female was 4 : 1, and the number of tracheostomy was highest in 7th decade.
Most of the tracheotomies(68 cases, 86.1%) were undertaken within 2 days after the onset of respiratory symptoms.
Decannulation was performed mostly(21 cases) over 1 month after tracheostomy and most of this late decanunulation occurred in laryngeal cancer patients.
The postoperative complications occurred in 12 cases after emergency tracheostomy and 2 cases after ordinary tracheostomy. The most common complication was laryngotracheal stenosis(7 cases).
Laryngotracheoplasty with Montgomery stent or T-tube insertion were done for laryngotracheal stenosis and 5 out of 7 cases were able to decannulated.
