Contemporary Management of Idiopathic Laryngotracheal Stenosis

Abstract

Idiopathic laryngotracheal stenosis is a rare but well-described indication for subglottic tracheal resection. Initially described by Pearson in 1975, the 1-stage subglottic tracheal resection with reconstruction of the airway ensures preservation of the recurrent laryngeal nerves while resulting in an effective and durable repair of the stenosis.

Keywords: Airway reconstruction; Idiopathic laryngotracheal stenosis; Pearson procedure; Subglottic tracheal resection.
