The aim of the study was evaluation of the use of tracheostomy T-tube in @entity1 with @entity6184 . The advantages of closed T-tube over open tracheotomy are: 1/ normal breathing through the nose, 2/ normal speech without necessity to close the tube with a @entity68088 / no spitting during cough. Silicone tracheostomy T-tube was used in 12 @entity1 with @entity6184 . The @entity850 resulted in 7 @entity1 from prolonged intubation, in 4 @entity1 from defective tracheostomy and in one @entity1 from failure of tracheal resection. In all the @entity1 rigid tracheoscopy and/or flexible bronchoscopy revealed the length of the @entity850 and the distance from vocal cords. T-tube was placed under local anesthesia. The @entity1 used to wear closed T-tube from 1-12 years. The tube was exchanged every 2-4 years. The only adverse effect was recurrent granulation around tracheostomy in two @entity1 . 7 of 12 @entity1 were decannulated with good result in 3 months - 5 years follow up. In two decannulated @entity1 @entity850 recurred. One @entity1 was retracheostomized and in another @entity1 @entity850 was resected with end to end @entity254 . Three @entity1 were not decannulated. @entity1619 -tube can be used temporary in @entity1 with @entity6184 before planned @entity850 resection or as a sole treatment with good chances for successful decannulation. When @entity850 resection is not possible, T-tube can be placed for long time.
