The prospective benefits and drawbacks of surgical and percutaneous tracheotomy, indications for surgery are reviewed. Comprehensive review of literature was performed using medical electronic databases such as MEDLINE, and EMBASE, articles concerned with Indications and surgical technique tracheostomy published up to November 2018 were recruited.
