 Collapsing Trachea & Reverse sneezing in the Maltese dog
However, if the segment of the trachea that is within the chest cavity is abnormal, surgery is not likely to be helpful because that part is not accessible to the surgeon.
If the only abnormal part is that segment between the throat and the point where the trachea enters the chest (the thoracic inlet), surgery may be curative.
Radiographs (x-rays) of the chest can identify the trachea and its shape.

 trachea info
There was some research done on a non-surgical procedure where a stainless steel mesh stent was placed on the inside of the trachea to force it to hold its shape, but this turned out to be a failure.
The initial spiral prosthesis surgical procedure has been modified to maintain blood supply to the trachea during surgery in order to reduce the likelihood of the tracheal tissue dying due to interruption of blood flow.
This surgery has a moderately high success rate, although it would likely be higher if the surgery option was not so often delayed until the patient was a high surgical risk.

Poor prognostic signs at the time of initial surgery are a solid growth pattern, perineural invasion of major nerves and/or positive margins after histopathologic examination.

 Collapsed Trachea
Occasionally, the trachea will lose its rigidity and collapse while the dog is breathing.
Let's start with an explanation of how the dog breathes, The respiratory system is basically comprised of the opening in the nose, the sinuses, the larynx (air passage containing the vocal cords), the trachea (wind pipe), the bronchial tubes, and the lungs.
In severe cases, surgery to help open the airways may be beneficial, but most cases are managed medically not surgically.

 Trachea shave - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
While the effects of a trachea shave on voice are minimal, some patients will choose to undergo vocal surgery at the same time.
A trachea shave is a surgical procedure by which a protruding Adam's apple is reduced in size by shaving down the cartilage through an incision in the throat, generally to aid the transsexual or transgender woman in achieving a passable female appearance.
Due to the close proximity to the vocal folds, there is the small possibility that they may be damaged during this type of surgery.

We can thus, as I infer from Professor Owen's interesting description of these parts, understand the strange fact that every particle of food and drink which we swallow has to pass over the orifice of the trachea, with some risk of falling into the lungs, notwithstanding the beautiful contrivance by which the glottis is closed.

 Trachea
The trachea (windpipe) forms the trunk of an upside-down tree and is flexible, like a vacuum tube, so that the head and neck may twist and bend during the process of breathing.
The trachea, or windpipe, is made up of fibrous and elastic tissues and smooth muscle with about twenty rings of cartilage, which help keep the trachea open during extreme movement of the neck.
The trachea begins immediately below the larynx (voicebox) and runs down the center of the front part of the neck ends behind the upper part of the sternum.

 Trachea Cross Section
One of the special features of the Trachea is the PCC (pseudostratified ciliated columnar) on the internal surface which keeps the air passage clear of debris.
Another is the hyaline cartilage C-rings that keep the trachea open.
This also aids in trapping debris that enters the trachea.
