| Summary: | We studied two similar cases of severe subglottic stenosis
secondary to trauma with different treatment modalities.
One had laryngotracheal reconstruction with cartilage
augmentation and the other had laryngotracheal resection
anastomosis. We wish to compare the two popular choices
of surgery for laryngotracheal stenosis from two cases with
similar nature and severity thus highlighting the complexity
of managing severe subglottic stenosis in adult. |
