AbstractA patient scheduled for surgical removal of a giant polyp of the larynx, and in whom difficult orotracheal intubation was anticipated in the preoperative visit, was managed successfully with a minitracheostomy performed with a Mini-Trach II kit. The ventilation achieved was adequate throughout the procedure. Thus, conventional tracheostomy was avoided.
