title: [Z-shaped surgical flaps in the treatment of acquired glottic stenosis: case report].
abstract: The Authors report a case of laryngeal stenosis initially treated through cervicotomy with the application of an Eliachar prosthesis and finally resolved, after recurrence, with two Z-shaped mucosa flaps. The Authors feel that this method is worthy of note because: its is simple to perform; provides excellent flap vitality; makes a stent unnecessary; and, above all, provides positive results.
