description Abstract OBJECTIVES The Brazilian Society of Thoracic Surgeons conducted an online survey to determine the number of surgeons that perform adult and paediatric airway surgery and to understand the practice patterns along the country. METHODS Active members were electronically invited to complete the questionnaire through the REDCapR platform. Invitations were sent from January to April 2020. The survey encompassed 40 questions that explored 4 different topics in the assessment of tracheal diseases: (i) surgeon’s demography; (ii) institutional profile, (iii) education and training in laryngo-tracheal surgery and (iv) preoperative and postoperative evaluation. RESULTS Eighty-nine percentage of the responders declared to perform tracheal surgery with a median of 5 tracheal resection procedures per year [interquartile range (IQR) 3–12]. Interaction with other specialties occurs in 37.3% of cases. Access to technology and devices is highly variable across the country. Resident training in airway surgery consists in traditional lectures in 97% of the cases. Training in animals (15.2%), cadavers (12.1%) and simulators (6.1%) are rare. Preoperatory evaluation encompasses flexible bronchoscopy (97.8%) and/or computed tomography (CT) scan of the airways (90.6%). Swallowing (20.1%) and voice (14.4%) disorders are rarely evaluated. Eighty-nine percentage of the surgeons consider bronchoscopy to be the preoperatory gold-standard exam, followed by CT scan (38.8%) and CT-3D reconstruction (37.4%). CONCLUSIONS Brazilian surgeons refer that airway resection and reconstruction are part of their current practice, but the total number of procedures per surgeon per year is low. Access to high-end technology and equipment is heterogenous. Training offered to residents in most academic institutions relies on traditional lectures. Surgery of the trachea is a highly specialized field.
