Delayed Laryngotracheal Reconstruction With Titanium Plate: Report of 10 Cases

Introducing a 3‐dimensionally Printed, Tissue‐Engineered Graft for Airway Reconstruction

“…Several authors have addressed this challenge testing a variety of nonresorbable biomaterials in various experimental models. 4,[16][17][18][19] One major concern with nonresorbable biomaterials is their potential for inducing a chronic inflammatory response with granulation tissue and extrusion. With this in mind, several groups have explored the use of resorbable biomaterials for airway surgery.…”

Staged Laryngotracheoplasty in Adult Laryngotracheal Stenosis

“…Daneshi et al, 14 demonstrating over 90% of patients achieving long-term decannulation. However, there is a relative paucity of large case series describing the clinical variables associated with favorable outcomes of staged LTP in the adult patient with LTS.…”

3D-bioprinted tracheal reconstruction: an overview

“…Several authors have previously used a variety of nonresorbable biomaterials in different experimental models. A main concern with non-resorbable biomaterials is their potential for inducing a chronic inflammatory response with granulation tissue and extrusion (Yener et al, 2010;Daneshi et al, 2010;Gaafar et al, 2008). On the contrary, resorbable biomaterials, like different thermoplastic polymers: polyglycolic acid (PGA), poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA), polylactic acid (PLA), and poly-ɛ-caprolactone (PCL) used in 3D printing have similar properties to the tracheal cartilage; consequently, various attempts are being made to apply these materials to artificial trachea research (Chang et al, 2014).…”
