| The sternohyoid and omohyoid muscles can also be dissected; the length of the dissection depends on the distance from the hyoid bone to the area to be reconstructed. The medial edges of the sternohyoid muscles were sutured to the fascia of the dorsolateral-lateral aspect of the trachea to decrease the tension on the skin to mucosa anastomosis and thereby decrease the tendency for dehiscence. |
