Introduction And Objectives: Presentation of the results obtained in the treatment of cicatricial posterior glottic stenosis.
Methods: A retrospective study of 34 patients diagnosed and treated for cicatricial posterior glottic stenosis in our ENT Department.
Results: In our series, 85.36% of our patients were decannulated. Of these, 80% of the patients with glottic stenosis were decannulated, while 92.9% of the patients with other associated laryngotracheal stenosis were paradoxically decannulated. Of all the patients, 70% required more than 1 surgical procedure, although most of these interventions were to resolve minor issues following our protocol. The number of subsequent interventions was determined by the location of the stenosis, with there being more interventions when the posterior glottic stenosis was associated with another type of laryngotracheal stenosis (p=.001).
Conclusions: The surgical results for treating cicatricial posterior glottic stenosis are quite positive. However, unlike other types of posterior glottic stenosis (such as neurogenic abductor paralysis), it requires a greater number of interventions to achieve definitive decannulation. Endoscopic procedures play an important role and represent our main tool.

Introduction: There are inconsistencies in how different endoscopic procedures to manage Bilateral Vocal Fold Immobility (BVFI) have been described in the literature. This limits our ability to compare functional outcomes. There is no unifying international terminology available that precisely describes the anatomical boundaries and extent of the different types of treatment.

Objective: The objective of this study is to provide a retrospective review of the 40-year experience of three oncology referral centers in the field of reconstructive laryngeal surgery.
Materials And Methods: A multi-institutional retrospective analysis included adult patients who underwent reconstructive laryngeal surgery for cT2-T4a laryngeal cancer (LC) between 1 June 1987 and 1 July 2019. Patients were stratified according to the European Laryngological Society classification for open partial horizontal laryngectomy (OPHL).

Subglottic and posterior glottic stenosis (PGS) narrows distinct areas of the larynx, while bilateral vocal fold immobility (BVFI) is characterized by static cords. Treatments include open surgeries and newer endoscopic methods, offering comparable safety, quicker recovery, and fewer complications. This study assesses the decannulation rate of endoscopic posterior cricoid split with posterior cartilage grafting (EPCCG) in pediatric patients with posterior glottic stenosis, subglottic stenosis (SGS), and BVFI.
