3D Printed Fistula Plug : A Novel Bridge to Definitive Reconstruction

© 2020 The American Laryngological, Rhinological and Otological Society, Inc..

A case is presented showcasing the feasibility of three-dimensional (3D) printing patient-specific fistula plugs as a bridge therapy to definitive management of pharyngocutaneous fistulae. For this patient, a set of 3D printed fistula plugs was successfully used with low morbidity and positive results in the management of this postoperative issue. Utilizing 3D printed fistula plugs could represent a novel yet safe therapy for patients requiring long-term management of similar wounds. Further studies are warranted to evaluate implementation of this practice on a widespread scale. Laryngoscope, 131:111-114, 2021.
