Tracheobronchomegaly is a rare condition characterized by diffuse dilation of the trachea and main bronchi. In ventilator-dependent neonates with tracheobronchomegaly, a tracheostomy may be hazardous due to the lack of an appropriate tracheostomy tube size that can fit the enlarged trachea. Here, we describe a modification of the laryngotracheal separation procedure to permit ventilation in a child with tracheobronchomegaly and severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
气管支气管巨大症是一种罕见的疾病，其特征为气管和主支气管弥漫性扩张。在依赖呼吸机的新生儿中，由于缺乏可适应增大气管的合适气管造口管尺寸，气管造口术可能存在危险。在这里，我们描述了一种改良的喉气管分离术，以允许患有气管支气管巨大症和严重支气管肺发育不良的儿童进行通气。
