“…In 2002, Fica et al adopted a novel technique with a pericardium flap to treat a tracheal hamartoma. During this operation, they raised a pericardial flap that was kept attached to the aortic root and passed it under the brachiocephalic arterial trunk to the right side of the trachea, followed by a continuous suture 46 …”

There have been significant advancements in medical techniques in the present epoch, with the emergence of some novel operative substitutes. However, the treatment of tracheal defects still faces tremendous challenges and there is, as yet, no consensus on tracheal and carinal reconstruction. In addition, surgical outcomes vary in different individuals, which results in an ambiguous future for tracheal surgery. Although transplantation was once an effective and promising method, it is limited by a shortage of donors and immune rejection. The development of bioengineering has provided an alternative for the treatment of tracheal defects, but this discipline is full of ethical controversy and hindered by limited cognition in this area. Meanwhile, progression of this technique is blocked by a deficiency in ideal materials. The trachea together with the carina is still the last unpaired organ in thoracic surgery and propososal of a favorable scheme to remove this dilemma is urgently required. In this review, four main tracheal reconstruction methods, especially surgical techniques, are evaluated, and a thorough interpretation conducted.

“…The surgical technique and material used to repair a massive tracheal defect is a challenge for the thoracic surgeon. Most authors [1][2][3] report covering the defect with various isolated or pedicled muscle flaps, or reconstruction with either meshes or epithelialized or autologous mucosa lined grafts. However, reconstruction of a tracheal defect with an autologous bronchial pedicle flap has rarely been reported in the literature.…”

We describe a technique used in 2 patients for resection of a bronchogenic carcinoma arising from the right main bronchus and extending along the lateral wall of the lower trachea without carinal invasion. A right pneumonectomy was performed in the first case, and lower and middle lobes were preserved in the second case after extended upper lobe resection. A flap was mobilized from the non-involved left lateral wall of the right main bronchus, which was left attached to the carina. This was used to close the defect in the lower trachea. An autologous bronchial pedicle flap provides reliable material to repair and reconstruct a massive central airway defect.
