114 Tracheostomy
https://t.me/med1917
The incision is marked 2 cm above the sternal notch, or
1
halfway between the cricoid cartilage and the sternal notch. A 2–4 cm horizontal incision is routinely used for elective tracheostomy, while a vertical incision is preferred by some for emergency airway access. When performed under local anesthesia, the incision and deeper tissues are infiltrated with 1% lidocaine with 1:100 000 epinephrine.

through the subcutaneous tissue. Once the fascia overly­ing the strap muscles is encountered, the plane of dissection shifts from horizontal to vertical. Using Army-Navy retrac­tors, the subcutaneous fat is retracted laterally, exposing the midline fascia overlying the strap muscles. The midline fascial decussation is incised, and the superficial strap muscles (ster­nohyoid) are retracted laterally. The thinner sternothyroid muscles are encountered next, separated vertically and are retracted laterally.
By gently elevating the muscles off the trachea with a hemostat, the Army-Navy retractors can be used to retract both strap muscles laterally, exposing the thyroid isthmus, pretracheal fascia, and inferior thyroid veins.
The veins overlying the trachea may be retracted later-

ally; or if large and arborizing, they are ligated. Following retraction or ligation of these veins, the pretracheal fascia is incised vertically and swept off of the anterior trachea to expose the tracheal rings. The isthmus of the thyroid may vary from 5 mm to several centimeters in vertical dimension. If the isthmus is not excessively bulky, it may be elevated from the anterior tracheal wall and retracted superiorly.
However, when the isthmus is large and prevents exposure of tracheal rings 2–4, it should be divided. Using a curved mosquito hemostat, the isthmus is elevated off of the under­lying tracheal cartilages. This maneuver frequently requires dissection from both the superior and inferior aspect of the isthmus. Care is taken not to perform lateral dissection in order to avoid injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerves and the inferior thyroid veins. Once the isthmus is mobilized, clamps are placed on either side, and it is divided in the midline. The cut edges of the isthmus are oversewn with a running 3-0 chromic suture.

Following division of the isthmus, the thyroid is easily

retracted laterally to expose the upper tracheal rings. To insure proper placement of the tracheostomy opening, the tracheal rings should be counted at least down to tracheal ring 4. The trachea is entered most often between the second and third tracheal rings or occasionally between rings 3 and 4. Tracheostomy between rings 1 and 2 should be avoided due to the concern for granulation tissue formation and subse­quent subglottic stenosis. Conversely, a low tracheostomy (inferior to ring 4) should be avoided whenever possible due to the potential for erosion of the innominate artery. The ves­sel crosses the anterior tracheal wall and the anterior curve of the tip of the tracheostomy tube may erode the walls of the trachea and innominate artery creating a tracheo-innominate fistula. Exsanguination is almost immediate, should this complication occur.
Various types of tracheal incisions and flaps have been advocated for the tracheotomy site. Some authors use an inferiorly based Bjork flap. This flap is fashioned by dividing tracheal rings 2 and 3 lateral to the midline. The inferiorly based flap is then sutured to the inferior aspect of the neck incision. In obese patients this flap when sutured to the lower neck skin may facilitate replacement of the tracheostomy tube should inadvertent decannulation occur. Potential problems with the Bjork flap include weakening and telescop­ing of the anterior tracheal wall, granulation tissue formation, and tracheal stenosis.
In most patients, a horizontal incision at the muscular interspace between tracheal rings 2 and 3 will permit easy access to the tracheal lumen and will avoid problems occa­sionally encountered with the Bjork flap.

Before opening the airway, a cricoid hook is placed beneath the lower edge of the cricoid, and upward traction elevates the trachea into the surgical field as well as maintaining stability of the trachea during insertion of the tracheostomy tube.
Selection of the appropriate tracheostomy tube should be made prior to opening the trachea. In general, adult males will require a larger tube than females due to the larger size of their trachea. A cuffed tracheostomy tube is placed when ven­tilatory support is required, and the scrub nurse inflates the tracheostomy tube cuff to insure its integrity prior to inser­tion. The anesthesiologist deflates the endotracheal tube cuff before the airway is incised to prevent premature puncture of the endotracheal tube balloon.
The tracheal incision is made with a knife blade rather than
After the horizontal tracheal incision is made, the open-

ing is enlarged with a tracheostomy dilator or a hemo­stat. Prior to inserting the tracheostomy tube, the anesthesiol­ogist removes the tape from the endotracheal tube, and the tip of the tube is retracted to just above the tracheostomy site. When the opening in the trachea is adequate, the previously lubricated tracheostomy tube is inserted with gentle pressure until the lumen is entered.
with electrocautery. In the oxygen-rich environment, incising the trachea with the electrocautery may ignite the drapes or the endotracheal tube. Once the trachea is opened, the endo­tracheal tube cuff is reinflated while all material is made ready for insertion of the tracheostomy tube. In some patients with a thick neck and a deep tracheostomy wound, it is advisable to place a stay suture from the inferior tracheostomy skin incision around the third tracheal ring. The ends of the sutures are tied with an air knot, left long, and taped to the chest wall. Traction on this suture will permit replacement of the tracheostomy tube in the event of a premature decannu­lation. All remaining air is removed from the tracheostomy tube cuff, and the inner cannula is removed and replaced by the obturator within the lumen of the tube.
Once the tube is inserted, the anesthesia circuit is completed, the patient is ventilated and the CO2monitor confirms the patient is being ventilated. The tracheal hook and the Army­Navy retractors are removed, once ventilation is confirmed. The tracheostomy tube flange is then secured to the anterior neck skin with either 2-0 silk or 2-0 prolene stay sutures. Tracheostomy ties may also be placed circumferentially around the neck; however, sutures provide added security against premature decannulation. The incision is not closed, and packing or dressings are unnecessary.

POSTOPERATIVE CARE
Humidified oxygen or room air is administered to prevent dryness and crusting of secretions within the tracheostomy tube lumen which could lead to airway obstruction. The inner cannula is removed and frequently cleaned of secre­tions and dried mucus. Tracheostomy care also includes cleaning the wound with dilute hydrogen peroxide every 8 hours for the first 5 days to remove secretions and reduce encrustation.

The initial tracheostomy tube change occurs on postoper­ative day 4 or 5. The wound tract is well formed by this time, and creation of a false passage is unlikely. The new tra­cheostomy tube is secured by cotton twill tape placed circum­ferentially around the neck and tied securely to the flange of the tracheostomy tube.
OUTCOME
Local infections following tracheostomy are generally uncommon and prophylactic antibiotics are unnecessary. In obese patients who have a thick subcutaneous adipose layer, fat necrosis can occur which predisposes to wound infection. Also patients with an active pulmonary infection are at increased risk for infection. Redness of the surrounding skin or purulence in the tracheostomy site may indicate infection. Cultures are obtained, and therapeutic antibiotics adminis­tered. Other rare complications of tracheostomy include intra- or postoperative hemorrhage, which is usually due to bleeding from the thyroid isthmus or the pretracheal veins. Packing the wound with oxidized cellulose will often control postoperative bleeding; however, wound re-exploration may be necessary for significant bleeding. Even rarer is life-threat-
ening hemorrhage from the innominate artery. This compli­cation occurs when the tracheostomy site is low and the patient is mechanically ventilated. Excursion of the tip of the tracheostomy tube erodes the anterior tracheal wall and the wall of the artery producing massive hemorrhage. Avoidance of a low tracheostomy has greatly reduced the incidence of this complication. Finally, overinflation of the tracheostomy tube cuff may result in ischemic necrosis of a circumferential segment of the tracheal wall. The use of a tracheostomy tube with a high-volume low-pressure cuff and avoiding overinfla­tion will prevent this significant complication.

HISTORY
Graham performed the first successful pneumonectomy for lung cancer in 1933. Pulmonary resection was also applied to patients with tuberculosis before effective drugs were devel­oped. Lobectomy became the standard procedure as a radical resection for lung cancer in the 1950s. Cahan described pro­cedures of mediastinal and hilar lymph node dissection for pneumonectomy and lobectomy in 1951 and 1960. Bronchoplasty and vasculoplasty were introduced to lung cancer surgery in the 1970s. Techniques for locally advanced lung cancer invading great vessels and/or the heart were described in the 1960s and were applied as clinical practice in the 1980s. Limited resection, that is segmentectomy or partial resection of the lung, were examined as potential operations for lung cancer. However, the results of a randomized con­trolled trial revealed that local and/or regional recurrence occurred more frequently in the limited resection group than in the conventional lobectomy group and this translated into a survival difference. VATS (video-assisted thoracic surgery) lobectomy has been introduced as an option for early stage lung cancer in recent years.
PRINCIPLES AND JUSTIFICATION
Right-sided pulmonary resections consist of pneumonec­tomy, lobectomy, segmentectomy, and partial (wedge) resec­tion with or without broncho-vasculoplastic procedures. These procedures are applied to lung malignancies, inflam­matory lesions, and congenital anomalies. Most of the inflammatory diseases can be controlled by medicine, and lung cancer has become the most common disease for pul-
monary resection. Tracheal and bronchial plastic surgery is applied to the right lung much more frequently than to the left lung because of asymmetric anatomy of the tracheo­bronchial tree and the pulmonary artery. Combined resec­tion of the superior vena cava is one of the characteristics of right lung resection.
PREOPERATIVE ASSESSMENT AND PREPARATION
Extent of the lesion is the most important factor in deciding what procedure to choose. Computerized tomography (CT) provides good information concerning the extent of the lesion, especially in the case of lung cancer. Lung cancer stag­ing is defined by the primary tumor, nodal involvement, and distant metastasis. Thoracic CT defines the primary tumor, nodal involvement, intrapulmonary metastases, and pleural involvement with or without effusion or pleural dissemina­tion. Malignant effusion and intrapulmonary metastases pro­hibit curative resection of lung cancer. Those lesions should be confirmed histologically or cytologically by a thoraco­scopic approach. Upper mediastinal lymph node metastases can be diagnosed histologically by mediastinoscopy when thoracic CT shows increased size of those lymph nodes.
Upper airway obstruction causes obstructive pneumonia or air trapping of the lung and disturbs intratracheal intuba­tion. Therefore, obstruction of the airway should be released by bronchoscopy before undertaking an intrathoracic pro­cedure.
Smoking should be ceased at least 4 weeks before surgery to decrease bronchial secretion and to reduce postoperative pul­monary complications.

ANESTHESIA
In cases of inflammation or lung cancer with airway obstruc­tion, secretions from the lesion and/or obstructed bronchi must be controlled during the operation. The face-down position prevents secretions from flowing into the opposite healthy lung. However, the face-down position limits the operative procedure. Recently, surgery has been performed in the lateral position under anesthesia, with a separate ventila­tion tube to suck up secretions during surgery.
Inhalation anesthesia stimulates the bronchial glands and increases secretion. Instead of inhalation anesthesia, intra­venous anesthesia with epidural anesthesia is used in wet cases. Epidural anesthesia is usually continued until extrac­tion of the chest tube after the operation.

OPERATION
Incision and exploration
Pneumonectomy and lobectomy may be performed through a standard posterolateral thoracotomy. However, with recent advances including the introduction of video-assisted tho­racic surgery and the development of surgical instruments, skin incisions have become shorter than those by conven­tional standard thoracotomy. Although some doctors recom­mend VATS lobectomy even for cases of lung cancer, open thoracotomy is the most common procedure to perform radical resection with systematic nodal dissection for lung cancer.

In cases of lung cancer involving the main bronchus, right pulmonary artery, pulmonary veins, or left atrium, pneu­monectomy would be chosen as a curative resection. Bronchoplasty and/or vasculoplasty should be discussed before a decision is made to perform a pneumonectomy.

DISSECTION OF THE PULMONARY LIGAMENT
In cases of lung cancer located in the lower or middle

lobe, lower mediastinal lymph node dissection is required. After opening the pleura along with pulmonary lig­ament at the reflection, fatty tissue including lymph nodes is
divided from the esophagus and the vagus nerve until expos­ing the lower border of the inferior pulmonary vein. Pulling the lower lobe and pushing the diaphragm are important techniques for exposure.

SUBCARINAL LYMPH NODE DISSECTION
The subcarinal lymph node space is triangle-shaped and
3
connects with both hilar lymph nodes. Those lymph nodes make a boomerang-shaped mass located to the back of the right pulmonary artery, left atrium, and both pulmonary veins. Therefore, early dissection of the subcarinal lymph node improves the exposure and ligature of the inferior pul­monary vein.
Reflecting the esophagus from the subcarinal lymph nodes is the first step. Retraction of the vagal nerve with a tape makes finding the bronchial artery along the branch of the vagal nerve easy. At the lateral thoracotomy, a branch of the vagal nerve covers the bronchial artery because of the outside location of the vagal nerve against the bronchial artery. After cutting the branches of the vagal nerve and the bronchial artery, the left hilar lymph nodes located along the
left main bronchus are dissected from the esophagus, verte­bra, and thoracic aorta. The common wrapper covering the hilar nodes and left main bronchus should be penetrated along the border of lymph nodes and the bronchus. This procedure of penetration between the main bronchus and the lymph nodes should be done carefully because the bronchial artery runs along the bronchus. The left hilar lymph nodes are grasped and pulled by Allis forceps, and are dissected from the pericardium until the tracheal bifurca­tion. Next, the right hilar lymph nodes are divided from the right intermediate and right main bronchus and peri­cardium in a similar way to the left side. At the bifurcation, the bronchial artery is ligated, and subcarinal lymph node dissection is finished. The fibrous membrane dividing the subcarinal region and the upper mediastinal region can be observed after this dissection.

DIVISION OF THE INFERIOR PULMONARY VEIN

The inferior pulmonary vein is exposed

after the inferior mediastinal and subcarinal lymph node dissection. Because of the short neck of the inferior pulmonary vein, further dis­section of the vein is needed towards the inside of the lower lobe of the lung. Adventitia of the vein should be exposed to perform complete lymph node dissection and to confirm the reflection of the pericardium around the vein. The vein will be divided by a stapler or after double ligation with a transfixed suture.
