ABSTRACT |
Laryngotracheal stenosis is a congenital or acquired narrowing of the airway, representing a continuum of disease that may affect the glottis, subglottis, and/or trachea. The larynx and trachea are semirigid tubular structures in which concentric scar contraction - a normal wound healing process - tends to narrow the lumen. The diversity of causes, severity, location of stenosis, and association with swallowing and phonation make this disease difficult to compare across patient populations and treating otolaryngologists. The wide array of surgical techniques for any given stenosis attests to the complexity and less than perfect results of the treatment. This review will address the etiology, diagnosis, and management of laryngotracheal stenosis. |
