22 Teatis. Patsient Jänes Juta (52 a) viibis 30.juunil 2004.a. Tartus Naistekliinikus operatsioonil. Operatsioon teostati üldnarkoosis, mille jaoks oli vajalik viia hingetorusse spetsiaalne toru operatsiooniaegseks kunstlikuks ventilatsiooniks. Selle toru sisseviimine tavapäraselt oli võimatu patsiendi anatoomiliste iseärasuste tõttu ja kasutati spetsiaalset instrumenti fiiberbronhoskoopi.. Operatsioon ja narkoos möödusid probleemideta. Edaspidi, kui tekib vajadus mingiks operatsiooniks, on oluline informeerida arste (narkoosiarste, kirurge) selles probleemist.
