Abstract
We describe the management of laryngotracheo-oesophageal cleft Type III using a bifurcated endobronchial tube. When the cleft was opened for repair, we were able to obtain effective control of the airway, which is the main problem in this rare congenital anomaly. Commercial tubes are not available, so we made the tube on the day of surgery, immediately before operation.
