title: Panel discussion: the management of advanced laryngotracheal stenosis. Management of combined advanced glottic and subglottic stenosis in infancy and childhood.
abstract: Severe glottic and subglottic stenosis in infants and children is a formidable disease for a child and a difficult reconstructive problem for the surgeon. Twelve consecutive patients are described in this series, 7 of whom had complete airway obstruction; 9 patients have been extubated with satisfactory voices. Long-term follow-up indicates no cases of decreased development of the larynx.
