The selection of individualized surgical schemes for laryngotracheal
stenosis and effect analysis
Abstract
Objective: To explore the optimization and effect analysis of
laryngotracheal stenosis surgery planning based on the Myer and Cotton
grade, disease course, control of the primary disease, and the general
condition of the body under the influence of various factors.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed for 32 patients
with acquired laryngotracheal stenosis who received surgical treatment
from October 2015 to December 2021. Results: Surgical
procedures included sleeve resection and end to end anastomosis (n =
16), partial circumferential tracheal resection (n = 2), tracheal
granulation (scar) resection using a CO 2 laser (n = 2),
and T-tube insertion (n = 12). Successful decannulation was achieved in
31 patients (96.9%). Post-operative complications comprised:
Subcutaneous emphysema (n = 25), subcutaneous infection (n = 6),
anastomotic restenosis (n = 4), and anterior cervical tracheal fistula
(n = 4). Conclusion: Considering multiple factors, the
optimization of the surgical plan according to the degree of stenosis,
the disease course, control of the primary disease, and the patient’s
general condition was an important guarantee to improve the curative
effect of laryngotracheal stenosis.
