IntroductionChronic laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS) remains a challenging problem for otolaryngologists. A composite hyoid bone interposition graft has the potential to be an ideal graft because the head and neck surgeon can obtain the graft in the same operative field with good vascular supply from the muscle pedicle.MethodsA composite hyoid interposition graft was used to provide structural support for the reconstructed lumen of the larynx or trachea in 2 cases of LTS.ResultsTwo patients underwent successful decannulation with acceptable laryngeal function over a long-term observation period.ConclusionThis technique allows vascularized stable graft survival with minimal donor site morbidity. Furthermore, it can be performed for thyroid, cricoid, and tracheal stenosis without fear of damage to the recurrent laryngeal nerves.
