Tracheotomy is a medical procedure that creates an opening in the windpipe (trachea) to establish an airway. It is typically performed to bypass an obstruction or to assist breathing when the upper airway is compromised. The term combines the root for windpipe with a surgical suffix, reflecting its procedural nature and location.
