Defect classification and reconstruction algorithm for patients with tracheostomy using the tunneled supraclavicular artery island flap
2010
Purpose
Following long-term tracheostomy, reconstruction of the suprasternal notch and coverage of tracheocutaneous fistulas can be challenging. Often, aesthetic results are secondary to functional outcome. In this article, we propose a defect classification and a treatment algorithm using the tunneled supraclavicular artery island flap for functional and aesthetic reconstruction.
