Our procedure for conducting tracheostoma closure technique involves the creation of two hinge flaps and one cover flap to close the tracheostomy opening. We reviewed the medical records of 23 patients (12 men, 11 women; mean age 60.0 SD19.7 years) who underwent tracheostoma closure technique between 2001 and 2019. Surgery was indicated for patients in whom closure had not occurred after conservative monitoring for ≥ 2 months following cannula removal. The surgical procedure began by raising two hinge flaps on either side of the tracheostomy opening, turning the skin surface to the luminal side to form the anterior tracheal wall. Rather than a single layer of skin, multiple skin layers were sutured together to prevent air leakage from between hinge flaps. A further cover flap was produced to cover the anterior tracheal wall, closing the tracheostomy opening. Postoperatively, the tracheal lumen was observed via fiberscopy. No stenosis of the tracheal lumen occurred in any patients, and the tracheocutaneous fistula was successfully closed in all cases.

These tumors can be challenging to treat due to their complex anatomy and proximity to critical neurovascular structures. Surgical intervention is often necessary to achieve a favorable outcome. The primary objectives of this retrospective study are to analyze the clinical and radiological characteristics of cerebellopontine angle tumors, identify pathological types, assess surgical resectability, and evaluate postoperative outcomes. : The study enrolled 14 patients who underwent surgical intervention for cerebellopontine angle tumors at Armed forces medical college, Pune. A retrospective analysis was performed, considering demographic data, clinical presentations, imaging characteristics and surgical outcomes. : Vestibular schwannoma was the predominant tumor type with majority of tumors manifesting between third to fifth decades. Clinical manifestation included SNHL, cerebellar dysfunction, headache and sensory trigeminal dysfunction. A substantial proportion (86%) presented with no useful hearing preoperatively. Surgical outcomes indicated varying degrees of success, with total resection achieved in a subset of cases. Notably, anatomical preservation of the facial nerve was accomplished in a significant proportion of patients. Postoperative assessments, using the House Brackmann system, revealed positive facial nerve function outcomes in a substantial percentage. Complications included cerebrospinal fluid leak (14%), meningitis(7%) and lower cranial nerve paresis (7%). : In conclusion, surgical intervention plays a crucial role in the management of cerebellopontine tumors. The choice of surgical approach should be individualized based on tumor characteristics and patient factors, with the goal of achieving maximum tumor resection while minimizing complications.
