    AbstractControl of the airway is fundamental for the safe anesthetic practice of head and neck surgery and careful assessment of airway must be undertaken preoperatively. Safe tracheal intubation method should be decided after the airway assessment. Special considerations are necessary for laser surgery, use of a nerve stimulator, and selecting the proper size and type of endotracheal tubes. Emergency anesthesia for neck and head surgery is most difficult. Experienced personnel and several kinds of devices for securing the airway should be gathered in the operating room before induction of anesthesia.
