## Abstract ## Objectives/Hypothesis: Donor site morbidity, including pneumothorax, can be a considerable problem when harvesting cartilage grafts for laryngotracheal reconstruction (LTR). Tissue engineered cartilage may offer a solution to this problem. This study investigated the feasibility of

## Abstract ## Objectives/Hypothesis: Scaffoldβfree cartilage has been used to engineer biocompatible and mechanically stable neotracheas in vivo. The purpose of this animal study was to determine if neotracheal constructs, implanted paratracheally, could successfully be used for segmental trachea
The stereological approach can provide an objective unbiased assessment of structural change in biological systems. In this review, we elucidate the basic principles of stereology and their implementation in the analysis of tissue response to tissue-engineering scaffolds. A brief outline of tissue r
