Tracheal Exposure Without Tracheostomy Completion in Trans-oral Robotic Oncologic Surgery

This retrospective descriptive monocentric study aims at producing a descriptive series of patients who underwent tracheal exposure in case of tracheostomy hoping to avoid them a complete tracheostomy. Its purpose is to demonstrate on one hand the reliability and security of this technique and on the other hand to define some imperative criteria of surgical indication for tracheostomy or no tracheostomy. The number of patients included corresponds to the eligible patients cohort of Hôpital Sainte Musse ENT surgery department over the 10 last years.
