Cricotracheal resection for subglottic tracheal stenosis
This 3D animated video, intended for surgical fellows in the field of Ear, Nose and Throat, or ENT, surgery, introduces viewers to the surgical procedure for cricotracheal resection and reconstruction technique for subglottic tracheal stenosis, a condition that affects females almost exclusively, which restricts the airway and makes respiration difficult.
The animation demonstrates how the airway is opened by cutting directly into the stenosis, minimizing the amount of trachea to be resected, and the stenotic portion of the trachea is dissected and removed, and the tracheal reconstructed. The animation focuses on key details throughout this procedure for patient safety (such as avoiding the recurrent laryngeal nerve), and proper placement and management of reconstruction sutures for the posterior and anterior trachea wall reconstructions, which require sensitivity to surrounding anatomy and the behaviour of various tissue types involved.

ℹ ABOUT TORONTO VIDEO ATLAS OF SURGERY The Toronto Video Atlas of Surgery is a collection of 3D-animation and graphic-assisted surgical videos. The Atlas aims to instruct surgeons in the surgical care of patients, and highlight the advanced surgical techniques required for treatment. The videos are fact-checked by expert surgeons for accuracy and educational objectives. The atlas is open access and visited by surgical trainees around the world. In addition to surgical videos for trainees, the Atlas also provides valuable resources for patients to help them prepare for their surgery.
