Popis: We present the results obtained in our center with laryngo-tracheoplasty for the management of laryngeal stenosis in infants and children. Nineteen patients were treated between 1989 and 1995. Their weights ranged from 1,200 g to 36 kg. Twenty-five operations were performed, not including endoscopic maneuvers. Fifteen patients have been decannulated (79%). Complications were infrequent and resolved satisfactorily. We consider that these surgical procedures should occupy a prominent place in the management of pediatric patients with laryngeal stenosis.
