“…The use of pedicled muscle flaps for laryngeal reconstruction has been accepted as a reasonably reliable method. Eliachar et al described the use of the RDF and a well‐vascularized bipedicled sternohyoid muscle with attached overlying skin 11,12 ; this was the reason for our choice of reconstruction in this study. The flap can be adjusted to the defect and has excellent blood supply.…”

“…Formation of a new laryngotracheal ring with the use of sternohyoid muscle has been described by several authors (Calcatera, 1983;Schaefer, 1990;Eliachar and Tucker, 1991). We used the median layer of the deep cervical fascia for reconstruction, with excellent results.…”

“…Myocutaneous flaps, such as the rotatory door flap, have been successfully used to treat noncircumferential tracheal stenosis. The flap creates an immediate, highly vascularized lining for the airway supporting epithelialization 12. Similarly, in this study, a bipedicled, strap muscle flap with a rich superior and an inferior blood supply was used, which served two purposes: 1) to encourage intrinsic vascularization of the neotrachea after implantation, and 2) to protect the underlying cartilage from infection and promote rapid epithelial ingrowth from the upper and lower native tracheal ends once used for reconstruction.…”
