Bronchoscopic findings of a pig trachea reconstructed with SEAP and DIEP flap. (A) Immediate after the operation, bronchoscopy revealed pinkish muscle fascia sutured to the tracheal defect. (B) The yellowish secretion was noted around the reconstructed tracheal defect of SEAP flap at postoperative day 7. (C) The smooth intraluminal lining was noted without stenosis or granulation in SEAP group at postoperative day 84.
