Pediatric Airway Reconstruction at Great Ormond Street: A Ten-Year Review

Abstract
One hundred eight consecutive patients with pediatric laryngotracheal stenosis requiring airway reconstruction over a 10-year period were reviewed. One hundred forty-nine operations consisting of 75 laryngotracheoplasties and 74 laryngotracheal reconstructions with costal cartilage grafting were performed. The Cotton grading scheme of preoperative stenosis was useful in predicting likelihood of decannulation. In all, 90 patients (83%) were decannulated.
