Abstract

Resection of the trachea is usually limited by the length of involvement. We present a case of long segment tracheal resection performed by adding an autologous pedicled pectoralis major myocutaneous flap transposition. By applying of this technique, a segment of trachea as long as 7.5 cm was safely resected without complications.
