Tracheostomy may be used to assure airway protection in various clinical situation. It, as a known operation, has a history spanning 2000 years. The first clear account of a successful tracheostomy was recorded in 1546 by Brasavola. Until 1718 the term "bronchotomy" was used to describe the procedure. Heister then introduce the term "tracheotomy and this was later adopted and popularized by Trousseau about 1830. The term "tracheostomy" appeared in medical literature after 1820 and the two terms "tracheostomy" and "tracheotomy" are used interchangeably today. Indications include relief of upper airway obstruction, facilitation of pulmonary toilet, diminution of dead space and need for prolonged mechanical ventilation. The extent of indication of tracheostomy has a tendency to increase, thus oral and maxillofacial surgeons have some opportunities to face a situation that require tracheostomy. So, we reported retrospective study of 31 cases of tracheostomy patient in oral and maxillofacial surgery with reference review to reveal the significance of surgical skill and management capability of emergercy state maxillofacial surgery patients.
