Surgical diseases of the trachea
The trachea is the windpipe that moves air from the mouth to the lungs. It’s connected above in the neck to the larynx (“Adam’s apple”), and below, in the chest, it divides into the left and right bronchi, which connect to each lung. The surgeons in the Department of Thoracic Surgery and Lung Transplantation at Baylor University Medical Center, part of Baylor Scott & White health in Dallas diagnose and treat a variety of diseases affecting the trachea.
