Abstract

Long-segment tracheal resection and repair pose a great challenge. We present a successful case of long-segment tracheal defect repair with extended bronchial flap of the right upper and main bronchus, together with a tracheoplastic method. This is a novel technique for repairing a large tracheal defect with an extended pedicled bronchial flap in specific situations.
