    Area of Science:

    • Thoracic surgery
    • Surgical innovation
    • Airway reconstruction

    Background:

    • Tracheal stenosis repair is often limited to smaller defects.
    • Extensive upper tracheal defects pose significant surgical challenges.
    • Existing techniques for large defects have unpredictable success rates.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a new surgical technique for extensive upper tracheal defects.
    • To evaluate the utility of a muscle-pedicled thyroid alar graft.

    Main Methods:

    • A muscle-pedicled thyroid alar graft was utilized for tracheal reconstruction.
    • The graft provides its own blood supply and perichondrial covering.
    • The procedure was performed in a single operative site and sitting.

    Main Results:

    • The technique provides a large and conveniently shaped graft.
    • The muscle-pedicled thyroid alar graft ensures graft viability.
    • The method proved advantageous, even in compromised patients.

    Conclusions:

    • The muscle-pedicled thyroid alar graft is a viable option for extensive upper tracheal defect reconstruction.
    • This technique simplifies the surgical approach.
    • It offers a reliable solution for challenging airway defects.
