Your Care Journey

We believe in complete transparency. Here is what you can expect at every step of your procedural journey with our specialized medical team.

Before Surgery

Airway narrowing is mapped using CT scans, pulmonary functions, and bronchoscopy. Review history of previous intubations. Stop smoking, fast before the surgery, and adjust blood thinners.

Day of Surgery

General anesthesia is given. The surgeon makes an incision in the neck or chest, removes the narrowed or diseased segment of the trachea, and sutures the healthy ends together to reconstruct the airway. Takes 3–6 hours.

Post Surgery

Recover in the ICU to ensure stable respiration. Patients must keep their neck flexed forward initially to avoid tension on the stitches. Start breathing exercises. Discharged in 5 to 10 days.

Recovery Timeline

A clear, clinical timeline to help you prepare for a safe and comfortable journey back to health.

Day 1–2

ICU monitoring, airway stabilization

Day 3–5

Gradual breathing improvement and mobility begin.

Day 5–10

Discharge from hospital

Week 2–4

Resume light activities

Week 4–8

Full recovery and normal breathing

In conclusion, tracheal surgery is a life-changing procedure for patients with airway obstruction or damage.
