Detailed explanation-1: -A tracheostomy tube is inserted through the hole and secured in place with a strap around your neck. Tracheostomy (tray-key-OS-tuh-me) is a hole that surgeons make through the front of the neck and into the windpipe (trachea). A tracheostomy tube is placed into the hole to keep it open for breathing.

Detailed explanation-3: -Technically, the term tracheotomy refers to the incision (cut) that your surgeon creates in your windpipe. The term tracheostomy refers to the opening itself. (This opening is also called a stoma.)

Detailed explanation-4: -A tracheostomy is surgery to create a hole in your neck that goes into your windpipe. If you need it for just a short time, it will be closed later. Some people need the hole for the rest of their life.
