ABSTRACT
Damage to the endotracheal tube (ETT) during oral and maxillofacial surgeries is a rare but serious intraoperative complication. Herein, we present a case of a partially damaged ETT that was repaired using Dermabond surgical adhesive (Ethicon, Sommerville, NJ, USA) during a Lefort osteotomy. Dermabond surgical adhesive can be a simple and viable tool to repair partially transected ETTs where ETT exchange carries a high risk of airway loss. Our case adds to one of the several techniques for managing damaged ETT in an intraoperative setting.
