Airway stenosis, in particular, laryngotracheal occurs due to various causes and pathological conditions, a number of surgical procedures have been proposed for its treatment. For bilateral vocal fold paralysis, posterior glottic subglottic the transoral and/or open approach, including laterofixation fold, arytenoidectomy, laryngotracheoplasty, can be performed according condition, extent, seve...

Objective: The use of a T-tube to manage complex laryngotracheal lesions, such as tracheal stenosis, tracheomalacia and tracheal injury, has previously been reported by other surgeons in the past. However, further validation of clinical details, including operative management and postoperative care, is needed. Methods: From January 1991 to May 2000, 53 patients, including 24 with post-tracheost...

Abstract Laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS) is a severe condition with high morbidity rate, described as the narrowing of upper airway diameter. The etiology acquired LTS dominated by prolonged tracheal intubation. diagnosis based on endoscopic examination and computed tomography scan imaging providing an exact analysis lesion, precise measurements. We report descriptive retrospective review medica...

IMPORTANCE This study provides clinicians with relevant information regarding the surgical outcomes of patients with laryngotracheal cleft in the context of additional airway anomalies. OBJECTIVES To determine the rates of surgical success in patients who underwent laryngotracheal cleft repair in the context of additional airway anomalies, determine the revision rate for cleft repair, charact...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Whereas mechanical (traumatic) causes of laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS) are identified based on history, autoimmune laryngotracheal stenosis (aLTS) and idiopathic laryngotracheal stenosis (iLTS) are often more difficult to differentiate. The objective of this study was to evaluate serologic testing in a large cohort of nonmechanical LTS patients to determine which tests, i...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The purpose of this study was to evaluate our patient-reported and objective long-term outcomes of patients treated for laryngotracheal stenosis. STUDY DESIGN Prospective cohort study. METHODS Sixty-five patients were evaluated after a median follow-up of 7 years after surgery. Follow-up measurements consisted of pulmonary function testing, Bruce treadmill test, and Ch...
