Abstrakt | A new method for the management of laryngotracheal stenosis using an epithelialized microvascular iliac crest flap is described. This flap offers firm support to the frontal wall, an inner epithelial lining, and is well vascularized. The operation must be carried out in two sessions: sking grafting the flap and transfer with interposition of the flap. In the reconstruction procedure, the otolaryngologist and an experienced microvascular surgeon should cooperate. The method is suitable particularly for solving severe stenosis of the cricoid region and of the upper part of the trachea. | |
