Abstract
The incidence of asymptomatic subglottic tracheal stenosis after decannulation of percutaneous tracheotomy patients has been reported in over 25% with to 2% case reports of symptomatic stenosis. Although percutaneous dilational tracheotomy is considered as a safe procedure, there is a high incidence of tracheal stenosis.
