AB  - Despite  progress  in  tracheal  surgery  over  the  past  60  years,  to  date,  there  is  no  suitable  substitute  for  the  trachea  to  bridge  long  gaps  after  resection.  The  adult  trachea  is  usually  approximately  9  to  13  cm  long.  Currently,  approximately  half  of  the  adult  trachea  can  be  removed  surgically  and  reanastomosed  with  various  tracheal  release  and  mobilization  maneuvers.  More  extensive  tracheal  resections  are  limited  by  the  lack  of  dependable  and  predictable  replacements.  This  limitation  is  quite  apparent  by  the  occasional  necessity  of  creating  an  anterior  mediastinal  tracheostomy  (MT)  in  palliative,  curative,  or  sometimes  emergent  or  “bail  out”  procedures.
