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