Twenty-seven children with varying degrees of laryngotracheal stenosis were treated at Texas Children's Hospital (TCH) from January 1984 to January 1989. Nineteen children had a residual airway demonstrable preoperatively, and following laryngotracheoplasty, 18 (95%) were successfully decannulated;

Laryngotracheal stenosis is rare in adults, especially in the absence of a malignancy. It is most commonly caused by fibrosis following endotracheal intubation or tracheal trauma. Other conditions causing progressive airway narrowing include the mucopolysaccharidoses and autoimmune disorders. With t
Objectives/Hypothesis: Open airway reconstruction is considered definitive treatment of laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS). Although most cases of LTS are not autoimmune, there are few data reported in patients with Wegener's granulomatosis. In this study, we aimed to assess outcomes of airway reconstru
## Abstract ## Background. Benign laryngotracheal stenosis causes considerable morbidity. In a retrospective study, we describe the results of our surgical treatment. ## Methods. Between June 1999 and June 2002, 14 adults with laryngotracheal stenosis were referred to our hospital. Stenosis re
## Abstract ## Objectives/Hypothesis: Endoscopic treatment of laryngotracheal stenosis by airway dilation, despite shortβterm improvement, is often associated with longβterm relapse. MitomycinβC (MMC) inhibits fibroblast proliferation and synthesis of extracellular matrix proteins, and thereby mod
