Abstract
OVER THE LAST 30 years reconstruction of the pediatric airway has rapidly evolved, fueled by the advent of prolonged neonatal intubation and the subsequent dramatic increase in the incidence of acquired subglottic stenosis.1,2 While many different techniques for reconstruction of the pediatric airway have been used, expansion laryngotracheal reconstruction (LTR) using cartilage grafts has stood the test of time and should be considered the standard criterion against which other techniques should now be measured.3 Our unit has vast experience with expansion LTR using cartilage grafts.4Keywords
