[Current therapeutic indications in laryngeal stenoses in children].
Among pediatric patients with laryngeal stenosis, acquired forms are now more common than congenital forms. External surgery is not always warranted except in complete or tight obstructions. After establishing the diagnosis by endoscopy, consequences on respiration and phonation should be assessed before deciding on the most appropriate treatment: abstention, medical therapy, endoscopic treatment, or surgical treatment by the cervical route. Surgical laryngoplasty techniques have changed radically over the last twenty years. The Cotton procedure is the most widely used. Another available method is the cricoid-split technique. These laryngoplasty procedures can be performed from birth and tracheostomy is now warranted only after failure of initial surgery.
