A 76-year-old woman was found to have a large, substernal, intrathoracic goiter. During excision, the trachea was found to be malacic. The trachea was sutured to a 16-mm ringed Gore-Tex (Gore & Associates, Arizona, USA) graft with Vicryl (Ethicon, Johnson & Johnson, USA) sutures. The graft was placed on the external surface of the trachea and surrounded the trachea almost 300 degrees. The patient was discharged on postoperative day seven without complications. She was seen at follow-up six months later and found to be free of complications.
一名76岁女性被发现患有巨大的胸骨后胸内甲状腺肿。手术切除过程中，发现气管软化。用薇乔（美国强生公司Ethicon生产）缝线将气管缝合到一个16毫米带环的戈尔泰克斯（美国亚利桑那州戈尔联合公司）移植物上。该移植物置于气管外表面，几乎环绕气管300度。患者术后第7天出院，无并发症。6个月后随访时，未发现并发症。
