Securing stent during multi-stage laryngotracheoplasty-An evolved technique

摘要

Background: Multi-stage laryngotracheoplasty (LTP) typically requires a stent be secured to the airway for 2-6 weeks. Our technique has evolved over time to securing the stent to the strap muscles and tying a series of knots long enough to leave the suture tail protruding through the skin incision, which simplifies stent removal.
