title: [Tomography of the larynx in diagnosis of midline laryngeal stenosis].
abstract: With diagnostic aims the author used direct laryngeal tomography in patients with median stenosis of the larynx. Tomography made it possible to define the width of the lumen of the sumplica area. Depending on the change of the subplica area the author varied the extent of surgical intervention. He used the extralaryngeal method of vocal plica laterification in all patients. With narrow subglottis he practiced complete mobilization of the elastic cone and its subsequent laterification; with wide subglottis he mobilized only the uper edge of the elastic cone. He succeeded in obtaining good functional results concerning respiration in all patients.
