[Tracheotomy superior, media and inferior? (author's transl)].
The traditional classification of tracheotomy in superior, media and inferior is not important. It only is important that the tracheotomy tube is in a tensionless position and does neither irritate the larynx nor the thyreoid gland. This can be obtained by strict conservation of at least the first tracheal ring and by dissection of the isthmus of the thyreoid gland.
