Figure Lengend Snippet: Preoperative set-up. Intra- and postoperative airway management was secured with temporary percutaneous cricothyrotomy using small-bore cricothyrotomy tube and bronchial blocker. Laryngeal expansion was performed with a curved rigid laryngoscope to enhance visualization. Although the patient consented to the publication of this case report, they did not permit the use of images that included their physical appearance. Therefore, this figure illustrates a representative procedural set-up using another patient who provided explicit consent for image use.
