Transmylohyoid orotracheal intubation in maxillofacial surgery
Intubation in craniomaxillofacial surgeries in patients with altered jaw relationships is often difficult. This is because nasal intubation is required, and this route is difficult to access. Furthermore, due to its location, there is a risk of severing the nasotracheal tube during the surgical procedure.
This study describes the technique of transmylohyoid intubation with an orotracheal tube, its indications, and results, to avoid the risks of obstruction and accidental extubation, as well as avoiding the need for a tracheostomy.
