A Novel Technique to Increase the Length of Tracheal Resection by Adding an Autologous Pedicled Pectoralis Major Myocutaneous Flap Transposition

Resection of the trachea is usually limited by the length of involvement. We present a case of long segment tracheal resection performed by adding an autologous pedicled pectoralis major myocutaneous flap transposition. By applying of this technique, a segment of trachea as long as 7.5 cm was safely...

Zusammenfassung:Resection of the trachea is usually limited by the length of involvement. We present a case of long segment tracheal resection performed by adding an autologous pedicled pectoralis major myocutaneous flap transposition. By applying of this technique, a segment of trachea as long as 7.5 cm was safely resected without complications.
