Abstract

Laryngo-tracheal stenosis is a difficult problem to treat by conservative means, because of recurrent stenosis and failures of different treatment modalities. The carbondioxide laser has improved the outlook of this problem and it has been effectively utilized alone or in conjunction with adjuvant therapy like stents, interstitial steroids, etc. We present here our experience with carbondioxide laser, used as a single modality in the treatment of laryngo-tracheal stenosis.
