Abstract

|
|
|
Balloon laryngoplasty is a noninvasive procedure for managing pediatric subglottic stenosiswith promising outcomes of a lower rate of tracheostomy and a higher decannulation rate. Itcan be applied even in a severely narrowed airway stenosis such as Myer-Cotton grade III. Itis gaining popularity because, unlike the traditional rigid dilation method, it is considered anoption to avoid shearing mucosal damages. Endoscopic balloon laryngoplasty may be recom-mended as a primary treatment option in a symptomatic pediatric subglottic stenosis beforeperforming an invasive laryngotracheal reconstruction surgery. Herein, we introduce our in-stitute’s balloon laryngoplasty procedure step-by-step.
