Skin, limited by polypropylene mesh intergrown with connective tissue, is separated towards tracheostoma, leaving pedicle of skin flap with polypropylene mesh intergrown with connective tissue on the edge of tracheostoma. Formed first skin flap with polypropylene mesh intergrown with connective tissue on pedicle is laid on tracheostoma with epidermis inside and sewn to the edge of tracheostoma from the opposite side. After that, vertical cut of skin is made on front surface of neck from the opposite side on the edge of tracheostoma. Second skin flap is mobilised and laid over sewn first skin flap with polypropylene mesh intergrown with connective tissue and wound surface. Second skin flap is fixed to skin with sutures on the side of earlier cut out first skin flap with polypropylene mesh intergrown with connective tissue.
