Laryngotracheal reconstruction of the congenital glotto-subglottic stenosis with autogenous thyroid cartilage interposition: a case report.

چکیده
Surgical correction of grade III glotto-subglottic stenosis in a two-month-old girl was illustrated in a staged manner. Firstly, a silicone keel was placed via anterior thyrotomy following a tracheotomy. Secondly, laryngotracheal reconstruction was performed by interposing an autogenous thyroid cartilage anteriorly between the edges of the longitudinally divided cricoid cartilage and the upper tracheal rings. A stent was maintained for two months. The glottis and subglottis appeared patent and healed following removal of the stent. A meaningful voice and rather comfortable respiration were observed during a 13-month follow-up. The use of thyroid cartilage autograft offers many advantages in laryngotracheal reconstruction with considerably less technical difficulty.

Introduction: Laryngotracheal stenosis can be caused after traumatic injuries to the neck from the subglottic larynx to the trachea. Patients with laryngotracheal stenosis often need a tracheotomy and occasionally may become tracheotomy dependent. Different procedures have been described for the management of these lesions. Management options include techniques of endoscopic dilation, laser res...

We studied two similar cases of severe subglottic stenosis secondary to trauma with different treatment modalities. One had laryngotracheal reconstruction with cartilage augmentation and the other had laryngotracheal resection anastomosis. We wish to compare the two popular choices of surgery for laryngotracheal stenosis from two cases with similar nature and severity thus highlighting the comp...

We present a case of subglottic stenosis involving the glottis with inflammatory destruction of the cricoid cartilage after prolonged endotracheal intubation. Total cricoidectomy and laryngotracheal anastomosis were performed with T-tube placement that was retained for five months postoperatively. After decannulation of the T-tube, the airway was well restored, with good vocal cord opening. Goo...
