Abstract
A case of tracheal reconstruction with a palatal mucoperiosteal graft is reported. The patient is a 75-year-old woman who had the anterior wall of her trachea resected for invading thyroid carcinoma. Palatal mucoperiosteum, which is easy to handle, provided both the lining and supporting tissue for the trachea. Local neck skin was used for covering. This procedure proved very successful.Keywords
