Tracheal reconstruction with a prosthesis of marlex mesh and pericardium

K Moghissi

Tracheal reconstruction with a new type of prosthesis made of heavy Marlex mesh and pericardium is described in 13 patients suffering from malignancy. Two patients had circumferential excision of the trachea, and the remaining 11 had partial circumferential excision and a patch graft. In 10 of them, tracheal excision was a part of block pulmonary resection. The early results are good enough to allow us to continue using the prosthesis in suitable cases.
