Pioneering Procedures
Our experts were the first in the U.S. to perform slide tracheoplasty for tracheal stenosis on adults, allowing surgeons to operate on patients with complications, such as obesity. This procedure provides a larger airway than traditional surgery and allows patients to have their trach tube removed so they can increase their physical activity to lose weight and improve their overall health.

Open Airway Procedures
Our surgeons have perfected open airway procedures. These techniques help patients who can’t have a minimally invasive technique or whose narrowed airway dilation fails.
Minimally Invasive Diagnosis Techniques
We offer minimally invasive procedures that limit the need for external incisions. It makes diagnosing more comfortable for you.
Endoscopic Procedures
Our physicians can insert a scope into a narrowed airway to make small incisions and inflate a balloon to stretch and increase the size of the airway.
