A 3D printed C-shape external airway splint composite skin flap for tracheal reconstruction: State-of-the-art masterclass
The "C" shape external airway splint could prevent the skin flap from collapsing without the need for an internal tracheal stent, indicating that 3D printed C-shape external airway splint composite skin flap may be a promising method for tracheal reconstruction.
