Abstract
A case is reported of a tracheal tear developing during laryngopharyngectomy and transhiatal oesophagectomy. Ventilation and oxygenation were managed by removing the tracheostomy tube and advancing a straight cuffed armoured tube via the tracheostomy into one main stem bronchus and applying CPAP to the other bronchus via a Foley catheter. Following gastrointestinal reconstruction, the membranous tracheal tear was repaired via a right lateral thoracotomy.Keywords
