Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the possibility and reliability of hyoid graft and pedicle sternohyoid muscle flaps in the reconstruction of laryngotracheal stenosis.

Method: Using the single or double pedicle sternohyoid muscle flaps and hyoid graft, we repaired laryngotracheal stenosis.

Result: In all 21 cases with laryngotracheal stenosis, 16 cases were cured after one surgical procedure, and 3 cases were cured after two times of surgical procedures, and 19 cases were decannulated, but one case was failure, and one case was lost visiting.

Conclusion: The hyoid sternohyoid graft transfer method was convenient, slightly damaging, and had good supporting effects and high survival rate in the reconstruction of laryngotracheal stenosis.
