How I Do It: Sternocleidomastoid Flap Augmentation of Tracheal Repair After Resection for Invasive Thyroid Cancer.

Surgical treatment for thyroid carcinoma invading the trachea often involves circumferential tracheal resection and primary tracheal repair. This procedure involves a significant risk of anastomotic breakdown. We present a novel approach to cricotracheal repair using an SCM flap bolster designed to reduce the risk of anastomotic complications. Laryngoscope, 2023.
