Abstract
Sixty consecutive patients with laryngeal and tracheal stenosis caused by various traumas were treated. Among them, thirty cases were the result of prolonged intubation.
The larynx with stenosis was anteriorly opened according to our standardized surgical method. The airway was reconstructed in a gutter-like form by using the core mold after removal of fibrous scar tissue and transplantation of pedicle skin flap. The anterior laryngeal opening was closed secondarily by the door flap enclosed with cartilage. A silicon tube core mold was inserted in order to make a better laryngeal and tracheal framework.
