Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Subglottic stenosis (SGS) can be either congenital or acquired. Acquired SGS is more frequent and is mainly caused by prolonged intubation. Treatment includes laryngotracheal reconstruction (LTR) with anterior and/or posterior rib graft, partial cricotracheal resection (PCTR), and endoscopic dilatation. OBJECTIVE: To describe and analyze the characteristics, surgical outcomes, and postoperative complications of the pediatric population with SGS surgically treated. PATIENTS AND METHOD: Retrospective study of surgical outcomes and postoperative complications of 44 pediatric patients with SGS treated with LTR or PCTR between 2015 and 2024 in a tertiary pediatric hospital. RESULTS: 88.6% of patients presented acquired SGS. LTR was performed in 33 patients with grade II and III SGS with a success rate of 93%. PCTR was performed in 11 patients with SGS grade III- IV, with a success rate of 91%. CONCLUSION: LTR as well as PCTR are safe and effective options for the treatment of SGS in children. Surgical success depends on specialized, individualized, and multidisciplinary care.
