title: Multisystem disease and pediatric laryngotracheal reconstruction.
abstract: Laryngotracheal reconstruction can be technically challenging. Successfully managing the patient's medical comorbidities is essential. Children undergoing laryngotracheal reconstruction rarely present with isolated subglottic stenosis; many have associated multisystem disorders. Effectively managing the patient enables successful outcomes after airway reconstruction.
