Abstract

Tracheostomal stenosis after laryngectomy is a distressing complication. We present a retrospective study on sequential 9 patients who underwent stomaplasty with inverted V-shaped fasciocutaneous advancement flap. This procedure effectively solves tracheostomal stenosis, providing large stoma for breathing with no need for further stenting and low revision rates.
