Published reports on salvage treatment for trachea reconstruction after total thyroidectomy or partial tracheotomy are available, some of them using structures of the trachea itself, auricular cartilage, a musculocutaneous flap, or other methods. In our report, we emphasize the importance of a search for a new material and approach for sparing surgery. The purpose of this article is to describe a case of a successful sparing surgery in a patient with advanced thyroid papillary carcinoma invading the trachea.

Methods: Totally 120 patients with laryngeal cancer were observed (T2-3 N0-1 M0 ). We have developed a method of laryngeal reconstruction using TiNi-based endografts.
