[Laryngo-tracheal estenosis in adults. A restrospective study of 21 cases and literature review].
We are reporting a retrospective study of 21 adults diagnosed of laryngo-tracheal stenosis and admitted to our Department between 1990 and 2001. In 9 cases (42.85%) it was due to prolonged orotracheal intubation; other 10 were secondary to tracheostomy (47.62%) and the rest, to coniotomy. We have studied and analysed these variables: Age, gender, personal history, level of stenosis, its grade according to Cotton's clasification, treatment and clinical evolution with an average follow-up of 12 months. Our main goal was to get people to know on experience with this pathology and to carry out a literature review in order to compare our data and results with other published series.
