6.Tissue engineering trachea: Malaysian experience.
The Medical Journal of Malaysia 2004;59 Suppl B():3-4
Management of severe tracheal anomalies remains a clinical challenge. Tissue engineering offers new hope in trachea reconstruction surgery. However to date no optimal technique achieved in the formation of human or animal trachea. The main problem lies on the biomaterial used and the complex city of forming trachea in vivo. This study was aimed at creating tissue-engineered trachea cartilage from easily accessible human and animal nasal septum cartilage using internal scaffold and biodegradable human and animal fibrin.

8.Current status and progress of tracheal substitute.
Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2012;29(3):593-596
According to the numerous experimental studies but limited clinical applications, the tracheal replacement is still far to be applied maturely. This should be attribute to the poor biocompatibility of the substitute and insufficient vascularization, even with added prosthetic migration and dislocation, epithelial ischemia and necrosis, as well as local infections, and so on. Here we present a review in the attempts to summarize the progress and prospective advances in tracheal substitute.

9.Tracheostomy.
Journal of Clinical Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery 2015;29(17):1581-1586
Tracheostomy is to establish an artificial airway by making an opening at anterior tracheal wall. Due to the blossom of mechanical ventilation and intensive care unit after 1950s, tracheostomy is the most favorable surgical method to access airway at present. In addition to traditional surgical tracheostomy, percutaneous dilational tracheostomy have gained increasing popularity and become an alternative procedure because of its merits such as easier manipulation, shorter operative duration and less complications. This review summarized tracheostomy from definition, history and current status, anatomy and physiology, indications, contraindications, timing, complications and management. We also elaborate our understanding of current contraercy and give some suggestions based on our clinical experience.
