Author(s): Sara Diaz*
BACKGROUND: The act of introducing a new product, idea, or technique falls within the broad definition of innovation. Innovation is the foundation of the surgical profession, reinventing equipment, research, and technology to enhance patient care.

We describe a case of tracheal agenesis, a rare congenital defect with a high mortality and few effective treatments, that benefited from the innovation process and survived without using a ventilator at age three.
METHODS: The parameters of the clinical problem were identified, previous solutions and existing technologies were analyzed, newly invented solutions were brainstormed, value analysis of the potential solutions wa.. Read More»
