Thyroid alar cartilage graft in paediatric laryngotracheal reconstruction

Utility of Two-Stage Laryngotracheal Reconstruction in the Management of Subglottic Stenosis in Adults

“…[3][4][5][6][7][8] The success rate of this type of procedure (defined by decannulation) has been 86% to 97% for children in the recent literature. [9][10][11][12] In the adult population with severe SGS, the decannulation rate has been somewhat less impressive: 76% to 95%. [13][14][15][16][17] Those patients with more severe stenosis, ie, grade III or IV, also often require multiple augmentations before eventual decannulation.…”

Early diagnostic and endoscopic dilatation for the treatment of acquired upper airway stenosis after intubation in children

“…Recent reports regarding the treatment of UAS after intubation have emphasized the surgical options for correction [8][9][10][11]. These series describe children and adults with more severe (grade III or IV) lesions.…”
