Abstract
in English, Chinese

The incidence of the tracheal diverticulum is low, and its risk to surgery and anesthesia has not been emphasized. This article reports a case of laryngeal cancer complicated with tracheal diverticulum, which was successfully rescued after mediastinal emphysema caused by the intraoperative replacement of a tracheal catheter. Operations such as anesthesia intubation may lead to severe complications such as pneumothorax due to diverticulum rupture, and the surgical team should pay more attention to the tracheal diverticulum.

摘要: 气管憩室的发病率不高，其对手术和麻醉的风险并未得到广泛重视。本文报道1例喉癌合并气管憩室患者，因术中更换气管导管致纵隔气肿，后经抢救成功。麻醉插管等操作可能导致憩室破裂引起气胸等严重并发症，手术团队应提高对气管憩室的重视。.
