Complex airway surgery is among the most technically demanding areas of thoracic surgery, performed by only a small number of specialists in the UK. I lead the Central Airways Service at Guy's & St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, and offer private access to this expertise at London Bridge Hospital.
Breathlessness, a persistent cough, or noisy breathing — particularly a wheeze or stridor — can be caused by a narrowed windpipe (tracheal stenosis) rather than asthma. These symptoms are sometimes treated for years as something else before the correct airway cause is identified.
