Tough problem: Combination surgery can be helpful to some. Second opinions may guide you if not done already. Repair - resect damaged trachea and mobilize thoracic trachea to connect.

Trach: If you have not already, i would seek evaluation at medical centers that have uniquely extensive experience with tracheal reconstruction, such as massachusetts general hospital.
