Conicotomy

Conicotomy is a surgical procedure in which an incision is made and the elastic cone is removed.
The elastic cone is a part of the brain that is responsible for regulating pressure in blood vessels. It is located in the back of the head and can be damaged by head injuries or hemorrhage. If the conus is damaged, this can lead to increased pressure in the blood vessels of the brain and the development of a stroke.
Conicotomy is a surgical operation that involves removing the elastic cone through an incision in the skull. After surgery, the pressure in the blood vessels decreases, which can prevent the development of a stroke.

Conicotomy is a surgical operation for laryngeal stenosis.

Conicotomy was proposed in 1830 by the French surgeon Charles Louis Jean Frédéric Bronyard.

In 1905, American surgeon William Mackenzie Murphy proposed a new method of surgery called conicotomy. The essence of this operation was that the incision is made not through the larynx, but through the skin of the neck, under which the thyroid gland is located. This method has found wide application in clinical practice.

During its existence, conicotomy has undergone a number of changes and improvements. Currently, conicotomy is one of the main methods of treating laryngeal stenosis.
