Laryngeal stenosis of the larynx in children is becoming a more frequent problem. Endoscopic dilation of the lumen of the larynx is one of the many methods of treatment. The authors present their own method for the treatment of postintubation laryngeal stenosis by argon plasma coagulation (APC). The investigation was based on ten children with postintubation laryngeal stenosis from I to IV degrees according to the Myer-Cotton grading system. The method of treatment, and the advantages and disadvantages of the new method of endoscopic treatment of postintubation laryngeal stenosis, are discussed in the article.

In otolaryngology, training often involves simulation in animal specimens, human cadavers, and artificial models to facilitate learning surgical procedures, reducing the time needed to acquire essential skills. Simulated training has become integral to medical education, particularly in microsurgical techniques, such as microlaryngeal surgery. These procedures, also known as phonomicrosurgery, are performed on the vocal folds using microscopic visualization and precision instruments with long shafts and millimetric tips.

Subglottic cysts and hemangiomas are rare but potentially life-threatening conditions in pediatric patients. Subglottic cysts are generally associated with premature infants with a history of prolonged endotracheal intubation, while subglottic hemangiomas are congenital vascular lesions that grow rapidly and are uncommon head and neck tumours in pediatric patients. Both conditions can present with generalised respiratory symptoms such as stridor.

It was first described by Norbert Ortner in 1897, who associated the syndrome with mitral stenosis. It typically presents as paresis of the left recurrent laryngeal nerve, which is mechanically compressed in the area of the aortic arch.

To explore the application of spiral tracheoplasty in the repair of large tracheal defects after the resection of trachea invaded by thyroid cancer. A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 11 patients, including 4 males and 7 females, aged from 36 to 67 years old, with large tracheal defects after tracheal resection due to thyroid papillary carcinoma invading the trachea in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Second Xiangya Hospital, Central South University from January 2019 to January 2022. The range of tracheal defects, time of tracheal reconstruction, postoperative complications and airway were recorded, and the patients were followed up for more than 24 months.
