Abstract

Tracheostomal stenosis after total laryngectomy is brothersome problem to surgeon and patient. To prevent tracheostomal stenosis, tension around the tracheostoma must be released. Advancement flap, V-Y inset and Z-plasty were suggested as solution to tracheostomal stenosis. But such methods need elevation of superior flap and it is very difficult when the patients received radiotherapy and has high change of developing pharyngocutaneous fistula. We suggested new stomaplasty technique which named "Modified Fish-Mouth Technique" that does not need to elevate superior skin flap.
