Abstract
Laryngotracheal stenosis is a partial or complete cicatricial narrowing of endolarynx or trachea. It has became mare common for two reasons; first, increasing prolonged endotracheal intubations for mechanical ventilation, secondly, increase in trauma to anterior part of neck due to vehicular accidents. We present our study of 30 cases of laryngotracheal stenosis operated by ‘Shiann Yann Lee’s technique with T tube stealing from January 1997 to January 2003. In our experience this is relatively simple technique with higher success rate of decannulation.
