Abstract
Tracheal stenosis is one of the main complications of long-term intubation. The Montgomery T-tube is a safe way to treat patients with tracheal stenosis who are unable to undergo surgical procedures. We describe a simple and practical technique for the insertion of the T-tube in tracheal stenosis located above the tracheostomy, while maintaining ventilation throughout the whole procedure.
