[edit] inventor of medialization surgery
The medialization procedure detailed was initiated in the 1970s by one Isski (I do not have the exact spelling). He used teflon wedges....but there was a problem with them migrating via the force of gravity. Presently, the silastin buttons are anchored to the tracheal wall by a surgical stitch or two.
