Abstract

The technique of submental endotracheal intubation has been established as a safe alternative to tracheostomy and can
be utilized when oro-tracheal and naso-tracheal routes of intubation are not ideal for orofacial surgical intervention. The
technique is simple and avoids the complications of tracheostomy. We present 2 cases of adults with orofacial injuries
requiring surgery. Both cases were managed using the submental method of intubation and the procedure was well
tolerated. There were no perioperative complications and patients were discharged on the fifth postoperative day.
