چکیده
Neonatal subglottic stenosis still remains a substantial challenge for paediatric ENT surgeons. Herein, we present a case of a single stage laryngotracheal reconstruction for a glottic-subglottic stenosis in an 18-week-old, 7.2 kg infant with DiGeorge syndrome. Our surgical approach was compared with those reported in the literature. Paediatric airway surgery should be tailored to individual patients according to age, weight, comorbidities and family collaboration, with the ultimate objective to minimise the invasiveness of the procedure.

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...

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...
