Tiruchi Hospital Successfully Treats Breathing Difficulty in Road Accident Victim
TIRUCHI, December 7, 2025 – A 60-year-old man from Kattur, suffering from severe breathing difficulties following complications from a road accident, has made a successful recovery after treatment at the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Government Hospital (MGMGH) in Tiruchi.
The patient, initially treated at a private hospital after the accident, required both intubation and a tracheostomy due to prolonged respiratory support. While the endotracheal tube was successfully removed, he developed breathing difficulties a month later, requiring a second emergency tracheostomy. A bronchoscopy revealed a tracheal stenosis (narrowing of the trachea) measuring approximately 1 cm.
Referred to MGMGH for specialized care, ENT specialists confirmed the stenosis through a video laryngoscopic examination. The medical team then performed coblation-assisted tracheal dilatation, a minimally invasive procedure to clear the obstructed airway with precision and minimize tissue damage. A Montgomery T-tube was inserted to ensure the airway remained open and support healing.
According to MGMGH, the patient is recovering well and is under regular follow-up care. The hospital released a statement highlighting the success of the treatment and the effectiveness of the minimally invasive technique.
