title: Endoscopic resection of obstructing airway lesions in children.
abstract: In the past 8 yrs, 14 children were treated with obstructing lesions of the larynx, some of then acquired from prolonged intubation. Endoscopic resection of the obstructions proved feasible in selected cases. The use of a wire stylette of fine needle within a small ureteral catheter sheath provides a  readily available and accurate means for dealing with some  of these lesions.
