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

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.
