[Clinical analysis of 19 cases of scleroma respiratorium treated surgically]

Nineteen patients with scleroma respiratorium treated surgically were studied retrospectively. The results suggested that the surgical operation combined with antibiotic therapy were beneficial to the curtive effect of the patients in the granulomatous stage with nasal or pharyngeal obstruction or nasal sinuses involvement due to the serious proliferation of the lesions; tracheotomy should be considered in the patients with laryngeal obstruction up to the second degree or above; plastic operations were necessary for the patients with cicatrical stenosis or imperforation remained of the nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx or trachea.
