AB  - Tracheostomy  is  one  of  the  most  commonly  performed  procedures  in  surgical  practice.  An  intervention  dating  back  to  1500  bc,1–3  tracheostomy,  until  recently,  was  used  solely  to  relieve  acute  upper  airway  obstructions.  Polio  and  the  advent  of  modern  ventilators  in  the  20th  century  made  tracheostomy  largely  a  routine  elective  procedure  for  patients  dependent  on  ventilatory  assistance.  This  chapter  describes  the  techniques  and  associated  risks  and  benefits  of  the  procedure.
