Randomized trial analyzes lower tracheal stenosis rates in patients undergoing tracheostomy after total laryngectomy, suggesting improved outcomes.

To present and evaluate a new surgical technique for tracheostomy using the platysma myocutaneous flap after total laryngectomy.
Patients underwent tracheostomy using a platysma myocutaneous flap from December 2006 to June 2021 (N=168).
Longitudinal incisions were made on the posterior tracheal wall for flap application.
Outcomes including tracheal stenosis incidence and patient satisfaction were recorded.
The incidence of post-tracheostomy tracheal stenosis was 2.38%, significantly lower than conventional techniques.
No correlation between stoma size and factors like BMI or smoking was found (P>0.05).
Patients reported increased satisfaction regarding physical appearance and reduced psychological problems.
