Abstract

In the current times, where in, as budding surgeons we keep ourselves fixated on learning recent advances and to improve our surgical skill, it is essential that we understand the importance of postoperative management in all patients, for it plays a pivotal role in the outcome. Tracheostomy is very common and important surgery in the practice of otorhinolaryngology and thus we have tried to describe in a nutshell the approach to a patient after the tracheostomy surgery, highlighting the various points to consider in immediate and late postoperative period, including complications. This will help especially budding surgeons to ensure ideal outcome among their patients following surgery.
