title: [Reconstruction of laryngotracheal stenosis with hyoid graft and pedicle sternohyoid muscle flaps].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the possibility and reliability of hyoid graft and pedicle sternohyoid muscle flaps in the reconstruction of laryngotracheal stenosis.
  
  
  METHODS
  Using the single or double pedicle sternohyoid muscle flaps and hyoid graft, we repaired laryngotracheal stenosis.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In all 21 cases with laryngotracheal stenosis, 16 cases were cured after one surgical procedure, and 3 cases were cured after two times of surgical procedures, and 19 cases were decannulated, but one case was failure, and one case was lost visiting.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The hyoid sternohyoid graft transfer method was convenient, slightly damaging, and had good supporting effects and high survival rate in the reconstruction of laryngotracheal stenosis.
