Abstract
A vascularized fascia flap may be used as a vascular carrier for free mucosal and cartilage grafts. This composite reconstruction technique has been performed in clinical situations with complex laryngeal or tr acheal defects. This paper describes the technique and the rationale f or applying this concept to some particular laryngotracheal defects. M orphologic and histologic aspects of this composite reconstruction tec hnique using a transferable recipient bed are discussed.
