Reconstructive Surgery of the Laryngotracheal Junction
Abstract
The laryngotracheal junction is an anatomical region with special pathophysiological features. This review presents clinical pictures and malformations that manifest pre-dilectively at this localisation in children and adolescents as well as in adults. The diagnostic procedure is discussed. The possibilities of surgical reconstruction are presented depending on the pathology and age of the patient.
Der laryngotracheale Übergang ist eine anatomische Region mit pathophysiologischen Besonderheiten. Vorliegende Übersichtsarbeit stellt Krankheitsbilder und Fehlbildungen vor, die sich im Kindes- und Jugendalter als auch bei Erwachsenen prädilektiv an dieser Lokalisation manifestieren. Das diagnostische Vorgehen wird erörtert. Die Möglichkeiten der operativen Rekonstruktion werden in Abhängigkeit von Pathologie und Lebensalter des Patienten dargestellt.
