title: Fixation of laryngeal stents.
abstract: With the advent of the CO2 laser, the transendoscopic placement of stents and keels has become an important adjunct in the surgical treatment of laryngeal webs and stenosis. Fixation of stents, however, is often difficult and cumbersome. Here, we describe two relatively simple techniques of laryngeal stent construction, placement, and fixation.
