Repair of supraglottic laryngeal stenosis with postcricoid involvement. A case report.
A supraglottic stenosis with postcricoid stenosis was successfully corrected in a single stage procedure by excising the scar tissue and the arytenoid cartilage and the use of mucosal flaps to recover the right side of the larynx and postcricoid area. By obtaining good mucosal approximation without tension the need for a free skin graft or mucosal graft was avoided.
