May I ask what the "rebuilt" throat reconstruction is called? What was the Procedure called? I was suggested to do this, and I was so thrown off I didn't catch the procedure name. I do dialations all the time with no help 🙁 for the stenosis.

@sarhay83, I think you might be referring to laryngotracheal reconstruction. Does this info from Mayo Clinic sound like what you were discussing with your team?

How are you doing?

@sarhay83 welcome to our head and neck group. You pose a good question as I too should learn what throat reconstruction is called in medical terms. It may vary depending upon what particular part of the throat needs attention.
Someone might have an idea if they are following this discussion. If not, you could again ask the question in your own discussion in the head and neck group. It gets more attention that way from the many fine people who follow this group. You are always welcome.
Are you having throat issues?
