Abstract
When tracheal invasion of a malignant tumor or tracheal stenosis of a benign origin exists at the lower or anterior part of the trachea, tracheal intubation or conventional tracheostomy may be difficult, and in these cases a modified tracheostomy through the lower or lateral part of the trachea would be necessary. We present 6 cases of modified tracheostomy performed with satisfactory results in severe tracheal stenosis that developed in the lower or anterior part of the trachea.
