A case of a 17-month-old boy with dissegmental dysplasia of the Rolland-Desbuquois type, who was scheduled for bilateral inguinal herniotomy, is presented. Preoperative assessment showed limited mouth opening, head extension, and kyphosis. Intubation with a size 4 mm endotracheal tube (ETT) was achieved with fiberoptic bronchoscopy, after which surgery proceeded uneventfully and the ETT was carefully removed. Copious airway secretions required frequent suctioning. On the second postoperative day, respiratory status stabilized, and the patient was discharged home.
