Keeping Neck Bent After Windpipe Surgery
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests two simple, non-invasive methods to keep your neck in a comfortable bent position after windpipe surgery. The goal is to reduce tension where the windpipe is reconnected, which may help the area heal better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- The reason for surgery can be a non-cancerous narrowing or a tumor.
- You must not have had any previous surgery on your neck spine.

This study will check if keeping the tube in your windpipe at a certain pressure during surgery can help prevent problems like hoarseness or a sore throat after your procedure.
This trial tests a surgery to repair the windpipe (trachea) or its branches (carina) without using a breathing tube during the procedure. It may help patients with certain airway diseases who are healthy enough to avoid traditional breathing support during surgery.
This trial compares two surgical techniques to repair a narrowed windpipe caused by injury, trauma, or long-term breathing tube use. The goal is to find which approach works best for patients who need surgery for severe or moderate narrowing.
This trial tests a surgery called posterior tracheopexy to prevent the windpipe from collapsing in babies with esophageal atresia and tracheomalacia. It may help your child breathe more easily.
This study checks if tilting a child's head back during surgery changes the pressure in the breathing tube. It helps doctors make sure children's airways stay safe during tonsil or adenoid removal.
This study compares two ways of checking the pressure of the breathing tube in your windpipe during surgery: the standard method (feeling the cuff by hand) versus a special measuring device. The goal is to see if using the device reduces problems after surgery, like sore throat or other side effects.
