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  twentieth  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.
