FIGURE 14

Laryngotracheal reconstruction scaffold design. Perspective view of the laryngotracheal reconstruction computer-aided design with multiple channels shown to allow for cellular incubation and growth (I). Photographs of typical graft during and after in vivo placement in rabbit (Simonen et al., 2023): intraoperative view, (II B ) bronchoscopic view at 4 weeks, (C) ex vivo rabbit trachea with graft at 4 weeks. Arrows indicate the location of the graft (II A , II C ) and the lumen of the trachea without granulation tissue or scarring (B). In vivo histology: (III A ) de novo cartilage formation at 8 weeks and (III B ) neocartilage formed at 12 weeks. The original polylactic acid construct is still present (arrows). ×100 original magnification. Safranin O/fast green.
