ABSTRACT
Two adult patients of foreign body larynx who presented to us with a short history of foreign body inhalation with severe respiratory distress are being reported. They underwent elective tracheostomy preoperatively for maintenance of airway and the foreign body was removed successfully. We conclude that preoperative tracheostomy can be attempted to secure a patient's airway before resorting to removal of foreign body lodged in the larynx.
