Abstract
Tracheocutaneous fistula is a frequent sequel of long-term tracheostomy or tracheal fenestration. Closure of fistula is complicated by the presence of extensive scar tissue, mucopurulent secretions, and tension from insufficient advancement of adjacent soft tissue. We report two successfully closed cases of large tracheocutaneous fistulae using a hinge flap and a V-Y advancement flap.Entities:
