title: Laryngotracheal reconstruction using iliac crest graft: an institutional experience.
abstract: The treatment of laryngotracheal stenosis has always been a challenge for otolaryngologists. Results of this operation is often not very satisfactory due to many reasons. Often modifications of available modality of treatment are required to suit a particular case. Many grafts have been used in single stage laryngeal reconstruction with varied results. With the help of two case reports we would like to emphasize on the utility and advantages of iliac crest graft for laryngotracheal reconstruction. The procedure for these reconstructions also highlights the importance of proper preoperative evaluation and planning for each case.
