Pioneering Procedures
Our experts were the first in the U.S. to perform slide tracheoplasty for tracheal stenosis on adults, allowing surgeons to operate on patients with complications, such as obesity. This procedure provides a larger airway than traditional surgery and allows patients to have their trach tube removed so they can increase their physical activity to lose weight and improve their overall health.
