Reconstructing the trachea is challenging because of its multilayer structure and airway function; multiple procedures are often required. We report a case of one-stage reconstruction for a tracheal defect. The surgery was performed with a free radial forearm flap and free costal cartilage grafts. Air leakage occurred postoperatively but healed without additional surgery. The reconstructed trachea has retained its shape, diameter and airway function for 14 months despite the patient's history of radiotherapy. This one-stage procedure with well-vascularised tissue was successfully used to reconstruct a stable, well-functioning trachea.
