Abstract

An extended area of stenosis of the upper mediastinal trachea, which normally would require extensive thoracic mobilization for primary anastomosis, was corrected by resection of the manubrium with the creation of a trough. This was closed in several stages utilizing embedded Marlex mesh and regional skin flaps. The development and modifications of this technique are discussed.
