Minimally invasive surgical treatment of subglottic laryngeal stenosis

Abstract

Currently, there is a steady increase in the number of patients with subglottic laryngeal stenosis of various etiologies. The most common etiological factors for subglottic laryngeal stenosis are postintubation changes and systemic diseases. [2] Subglottic laryngeal stenosis is caused by pathological processes resulting in stable tissue infiltration and edema, formation of scar tissue in place of normal structures and lumen narrowing leading to respiratory failure.
