A tracheostomy is a medical procedure â either temporary or permanent â that involves creating an opening in the neck in order to place a tube into a personâs windpipe. The tube is inserted through a cut in the neck below the vocal cords. This allows air to enter the lungs. Breathing is then done through the tube, bypassing the mouth, nose, and throat. A tracheostomy is commonly referred to as a stoma. This is the name for the hole in the neck that the tube passes through.
