An incision of the windpipe is called a tracheostomy. This surgical procedure involves creating a small opening in the neck and inserting a breathing tube directly into the trachea to help with breathing. It is typically done in cases of severe airway obstruction or when a person needs long-term mechanical ventilation.

A tracheostomy is a medical procedure that involves creating an opening (stoma) in the front of the neck to insert a tube into the trachea (windpipe). This intervention is typically performed in cases where a patient has difficulty breathing due to airway obstruction, severe respiratory illness, or prolonged need for mechanical ventilation. The tracheostomy tube allows for direct access to the airway, facilitating breathing and improving airflow, while also enabling suctioning of secretions and providing a pathway for ventilatory support.
A gastroduodenostomy, also known as a gastrojejunostomy, is a surgical procedure that creates a connection between the stomach and the duodenum or jejunum. This procedure is typically done to treat conditions like gastric outlet obstruction or to bypass a portion of the stomach to aid in digestion and nutrient absorption.
Tonsillectomy is a surgical procedure performed on the pharynx.
Making an opening in the windpipe to bypass the obstructed airway during sleep. During the day, a valve over the opening is closed so the person can speak, and at night, the valve is opened to bypass the obstruction.
