Tracheostomy
A tracheostomy is a surgical procedure to create an opening through the neck into the trachea(windpipe). A tube is usually placed through this opening to provide an airway and to remove secretions from the lungs.

Tracheostomy Tube or Stoma: Your New Airway
If your surgeon has given you a new airway during surgery, it may be in place only a short time while you heal. Or, if your larynx has been removed, you'll continue breathing through this new airway. In either case, your health care team will help you adjust.

What Is a Tracheostomy?
A tracheostomy (tray-kee-AHS-toe-mee) gives you a new pathway for air to go into and out of your lungs. To create this pathway, you need surgery to make a small opening in your neck. A tracheostomy tube (also called a "trach tube”) is then placed into this opening. Air flows into and out of your lungs through the tube.
