A postintubation tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) complicated with subglottic laryngotracheal stenosis (SLTS) is a challenge to surgical repair. Laryngotracheal resection and primary reconstruction could result in treatment failure. In this report, we describe the successful management of two cases of postintubation TEF complicated with SLTS using a Montgomery T-tube because of the patients' con...

OBJECTIVE To compare the postoperative course, complication rate, and decannulation rate in children who underwent either sutureless or sutured posterior costal cartilage grafting during laryngotracheal reconstruction (LTR). DESIGN Retrospective chart review. SETTING Tertiary care children's medical center. PATIENTS The study included children who required posterior costal cartilage graft...

OBJECTIVES We examined a retrospective case series to evaluate the utility of two-stage laryngotracheal reconstruction (LTR) in the management of subglottic stenosis (SGS) in adults. Operative correction of SGS with LTR has been practiced successfully in the pediatric population. However, in the adult population, cricotracheal resection has been a more common alternative. METHODS We reviewed ...

Objective. Develop an evidence-based model for predicting operative endoscopy findings in patients with recurrent croup. Study Design. Case series with chart review. Setting. Tertiary care children’s hospital. Subjects and Methods. Retrospective chart review was performed on 124 patients who received consultation for recurrent croup between 2000 and 2009. Direct laryngoscopy and bronchoscopy fi...

The aim of this case report is to present an incidental finding a firm tracheal septum in 61-year-old woman. patient was admitted the hospital with mild dyspnea and preliminary diagnosis subglottic stenosis. During microlaryngoscopy, just below stenosis, firm, vertical symphysis (septum), forming double-lumen trachea found. There no record any previous difficulties intubation. A computed tomogr...

Congenital abnormalities of the larynx and trachea rarely cause death in the newborn. Milder anomalies are not uncommon and are compatible with survival. Holinger, Johnson and Schiller (1954) reported a series of 379 cases, of which 305 were congenital laryngeal stridor. Among 19 cases of congenital web of the larynx three required tracheotomy and none died. This condition may persist without s...

The incidence, aetiology and long term outcomes of laryngotracheal complications secondary to Tracheostomy insertion in patients ventilated for COVID-19 critical Illness are currently unknown. We report a single case from our institutional series who developed early subglottic stenosis subsequent traceomalacia preventing permanent tracheostomy removal despite three decannulation attempts. consi...

INTRODUCTION  In recent decades, airway reconstruction has become the treatment of choice for subglottic stenosis (SGS) in children, which is performed in either single or multiple stages. However, there is evidence in the literature that single-stage surgery is more effective. OBJECTIVE  To evaluate the success rate of single-stage laryngotracheoplasty (LTP) and cricotracheal resection (CTR)...
