To the Editor:

We thank Dr Demos for his interest in our article [1] and for the mention of his "historical" report [2] on the reconstruction of the trachea using a silicone prosthesis. Although our approach was different because we were looking for biological reconstruction rather than prosthetic substitution (the prosthesis was used as a temporary stent), we both sought the same goal of a reliable tracheal replacement, and we were both criticized by "nonbelievers." We will not forget to mention his interesting pioneering work in our future studies.
