Surgical treatment of acquired subglottic stenosis

Abstract
Seven patients with severe acquired glottic-subglottic stenosis were treated surgically, some by augmentation and others by resection; the surgical results are reported. Although only 50% could be decannulated it was evident, at the end of a minimum follow-up period of 4 yr, that the physical, mental and social handicaps suffered by a child permanently wearing a cannula are so great that a very active surgical approach to the problems of laryngeal stenosis is required.
