Reconstructive and plastic surgical treatment of idiopathic stenosis of the laryngotracheal part of airway. A clinical case

Cicatricial laryngotracheal stenosis is a partial or complete narrowing of the laryngotracheal lumen caused by scarring in the mucous membrane and cartilage, leading to difficulty in air passing during breathing, leading to respiratory failure. In patients with this disease, one of the vital functions is disrupted – breathing through the natural respiratory tract, which in severe cases may require a tracheostomy. Treatment of patients with laryngotracheal stenosis remains one of the most difficult question of modern otorhinolaryngology and head and neck surgery. Patients with this pathology need specialized high-tech surgical care. This article presents a clinical case of collegial work with a patient with idiopathic laryngotracheal stenosis of the respiratory tract, from the first hospitalization at the Russian Children Clinical Hospital to the final stage at the First Medical Institute, where the child was transferred for further treatment due to reaching the age of 18.
