Tracheotomy scar revision

A tracheotomy scar revision is performed to remove an unsightly scar.

A tracheotomy scar is formed after a tracheotomy tube is removed. Some scars heal very well and are unable to be seen. Other scars may be large and tether the skin to the deeper throat muscles making swallowing and speaking difficult.

A tracheotomy scar revision is performed under local anesthesia. The old scar is removed and the remaining skin is sutured together. This is done with a plastics closure using fine instruments and small needles.

When a tracheotomy scar involves the airway and trachea it is performed in the operating room. Sometimes muscles are used to bolster a closure.

Dr. Verma took the time to listen to my concerns and thoughtfully discuss my condition and treatment options. I'm sure his schedule is packed but I felt heard and was never rushed.

Didn’t feel care for left the office feeling discouraged, dr didn’t seem interested in finding out why I’m having my symptoms. From his opinion I’m fine. When a doctor wants to really help they’ll try all test possible to find the problem, instead he said I need to see a pain specialist and I left.

I couldn’t ask for a better experience with a Doctor and staff. Dr. Verma put me at ease and walked me through the Vocal fold injection process. He made it an easy experience and he was always informative and willing to answer questions. I felt heard and never rushed.

I'm unable to eat and swallow. Dr. Verma asked me to go to somewhere else for the treatment. He did NOT even give me the reason why he can not treat me.

Dr. Verma and his staff were totally professional. I came in from Palm Springs and it truly was worth the ride. I have what’s called a ZINKER. He had to put a tube down my nose to examine me. I didn’t feel a thing.Forgot to mention I’m a big baby. All in all it was a very good experience. Thank you Dr. Verma
