Abstract: The length of tracheal defect or stenosis exceeded 5 cm could not be treated by simple resection and end-to-end anastomosis of the remaining trachea.Various ways of tracheal replacement had appeared sequentially,such as radial forearm free flap with cartilage grafts,tracheal tissue-engineering and tracheal allotransplantation.Among these methods,tracheal allotransplantation displayed a better long-term result.In this review,we are focused on recent advances in tracheal allotransplantation,particularly on revascularization and reepithelialization of graft,as well as on the application of immunosuppressive agents.
