Abstract
Objective:
To evaluate the surgical treatment results of laryngotracheal stenosis.
Methods:
Forty-five patients with laryngotracheal stenosis, atresia or defects who had been treated surgically were reviewed. Different operative reconstructions were used accordingly, such as simple scar resectoin and dilatation, mucosa resuturing, Z-plasty, flap reconstruction, sleeve resection.
Results:
Forty-three patients had been treated successfully with good airway patency, although 37 of them had hoarseness of voice. One patient lost to follow-up and another had compromised airway after operation.
Conclusion:
The different methods of surgical reconstruction used here for the laryngotracheal stenosis proved to be effective.
