title: [Laryngotracheal stenosis. Indications and results on the basis of 59 cases (author's transl)].
abstract: On the basis of 59 cases of laryngotracheal stenosis, the authors summarised their experience in 3 chapters. The first section defines the etiology, therapeutic indications and results obtained according to whether the stenosis was purely laryngeal or laryngotracheal and whether the vocal cords are mobile or immobile. The second part studies the results of procedures of enlargement of the laryngeal cavity (Rethi-Aboulker type). These results are satisfactory in pure laryngeal stenosis, but are often inadequate for stenosis of the crico-tracheal junction or combined laryngeal and tracheal stenosis. The third part defines the technique and indicates the value of crico or thyrocrico-tracheal resection anastomosis procedures in laryngotracheal stenosis. Thus, there is not single form of treatment for laryngotracheal stenosis. On the basis of pre and per-operative assessment, a choice will be made between the Rethi procedure, crico-tracheal resection or combination of the two.
