Revision surgery for correcting benign laryngotracheal stenosis is challenging and it gets complicated in patients with comorbidities. To improve results in such cases, we describe a new technique of stabilizing the trachea by splinting it to the clavicle on both sides.
Retrospective case series.
Three patients received claviculotracheopexy to maintain their tracheal static. The surgery offers an immediate and optimal support to an unstable trachea.
Claviculotracheopexy can be used as a complementary procedure in complex airway reconstructions.
