We report the use of a silicone rubber T tube for the management of complex
airway problems in 47 patients during the past 15 years. The tube has been
used for palliation in 11 patients with malignant obstruction of the
airway, and as the sole treatment or as an adjunct to operation in 36 other
patients. Based on the satisfactory results with the use of these tubes, we
have utilized silicone stents in the bronchus and bifurcation prostheses at
the carina. In the past, we have inserted the T tubes through a
tracheostomy stoma. More recently, we have used a technique for endoscopic
placement of the T tubes in which the horizontal limb is pulled out through
the tracheostomy stoma. This technique facilitates introduction of the tube
and maintains the airway during insertion. The use of silicone stents
provides an important tool in the management of complicated airway
problems, and we anticipate their increased use in the future.
