Need help breathing due to a blocked airway or long-term ventilation? Our ENT team performs safe, precise tracheostomy surgery and guides you through recovery.
A tracheostomy is an opening made at the front of the neck so a tube can be placed into the windpipe to assist your breathing. It is most commonly performed in an operating room under general anaesthesia, which keeps you unaware during the surgery.
A local anaesthetic to numb the neck and throat may be used if the surgeon is concerned about the airway being compromised under general anaesthesia, or if the procedure is done in a hospital room rather than an operating room. Dr. Gouda Ramesh is well experienced in ENT treatment.

Common questions about tracheostomy surgery.
A tracheostomy is an opening made at the front of the neck so a breathing tube can be placed into the windpipe. It assists breathing when the airway is blocked or long-term ventilation is needed.
Our experienced ENT team performs tracheostomy surgery using safe, precise techniques — in an operating room or, when appropriate, at the bedside in a hospital room.
There are two main approaches: a surgical tracheostomy (a cut at the lower front of the neck to make the opening) and a minimally invasive (percutaneous) tracheostomy performed at the bedside using a needle and a viewing lens.
It is most commonly done under general anaesthesia. A local anaesthetic may be used if there are airway concerns or if the procedure is performed in a hospital room.
It may be needed to bypass a blocked or narrowed airway, support long-term ventilation, clear lung secretions, or protect the airway after major surgery or injury.
