Abstract
Our results and survival analysis from the literature suggest that suitable indications for anterior mediastinal tracheostomy are (1) carcinoma of the subglottic region or proximal trachea invading the subglottic larynx, (2) stomal recurrence after laryngectomy, and (3) well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma invading the trachea or recurrence.
