title: [Surgical treatment of benign laryngotracheal stenosis. Apropos of 12 cases].
abstract: The authors report a series of twelve benign laryngotracheal strictures. In almost every case, these lesions were secondary to tracheal intubation and consisted of extensive, circumferential and almost complete stenosis. All were treated surgically. The authors obtained enlargement of the airway be means of an interposed cartilaginous graft and an intraluminal prosthesis which was left in place. In nine cases, this procedure was combined with posterior cricotomy. One eight month old infant died during the postoperative period. Ten patients had an uneventful postoperative course with a satisfactory anatomical and functional result.
