[Surgical repair of a tracheal tear caused by an endotracheal tube via dual surgical approach].
We report a case of large tracheal (cervical thoracic) rupture after using an endotracheal tube, which needed to be repaired via a double surgical approach: cervicotomy and right thoracotomy. To our knowledge, no similar cases have been previously reported in the medial literature.
