Abstract

Autotransplantation of the trachea to extended hemilaryngectomy defects is based on vascular induction of a segment of trachea and is an example of flap prefabrication. Composite tissue reconstruction of tracheal defects is another application of flap prefabrication: composite tissue consisting of fascia, buccal mucosa and ear cartilage can be used for reconstruction of an anterior tracheal defect after a stage of prefabrication to allow for survival of the cartilage component.
