Pr. Delaere et al., EXPERIMENTAL TRACHEAL TUBE CREATED WITH VASCULARIZED FASCIA, The Annals of otology, rhinology & laryngology, 102(12), 1993, pp. 935-940
An experimental fascial transferable bed was developed in the rabbit m
odel. This tissue is reliable in bringing a viable mucosal graft insid
e the larynx. A vascular connective tissue sheet with full-thickness m
ucosa and autogenous cartilage for external support are needed. In thi
s study a tracheal tube was preformed to study the use of autogenous c
artilage as support for a circumferential lumen.
