Özet
Tracheotomy is a combination of Latin words meaning trachea and opening to create a new communication between the airway tract below the larynx level and environment for medical purposes [1]. Although the concepts of tracheotomy/tracheostomy are different, they are widely used interchangeably today and define the temporary or permanent opening of the trachea. It is one of the oldest surgical procedures performed that originates in ancient Greece [1]. Although the tracheotomy procedure is a lifesaving procedure in many conditions, it can cause high mortality and morbidity if the indication and technique is not taken into account due to anatomical differences in adult and pediatric patients. In this section, the indications, techniques, and complications of pediatric tracheotomy will be discussed.
