[Surgical treatment of laryngotracheal stenosis].
OBJECTIVE
To improve the curative effects of laryngotracheal stenosis.


METHODS
Seventy patients treated for laryngotracheal stenosis on the different pathologic condition of the larynx and trachea were retrospectively reviewed. Different operative reconstruction methods were used accordingly.


RESULTS
Among 70 patients, 65 (92.9) patients succeed in decannulation. The average course of usage of stent was 14.8 days, the average course from operation to decannulation was 82.0 days.


CONCLUSIONS
The choice of surgical procedure must be decided on the pathologic conditions of the larynx and trachea. Eliminating the defect of the mucosa and reconstructing a wide enough airway was the key to improve the curative effect.
