Comparison of Early-Term Results of Tracheotomy Using the Window Technique and Bjork Flap Method

Although complication rates are similar, subcutaneous emphysema, false pouch formation and pneumothorax have been seen in the window technique. This may indicate that the flap sutured to the skin in the Bjork technique may be useful in preventing the formation of false passage.
