Objective: To perform a systematic review with meta-analysis of data to determine the rates of repeat surgery and supraglottic stenosis in unilateral versus bilateral supraglottoplasty for laryngomalacia.
Data Sources: PubMed/Medline, Cochrane Central, Scopus, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and Embase.
Review Methods: Databases were searched through January 30, 2018. Studies with unilateral or bilateral supraglottoplasty techniques for laryngomalacia were included. The need for repeat (revision or completion) surgery and rates of supraglottic stenosis were primary outcomes. Data were substratified and a meta-analysis performed.
Results: A total of 251 articles were reviewed, and 20 articles met inclusion criteria (1186 patients: 663 bilateral, 523 unilateral). Regarding the need to return to surgery, the rate of revision for bilateral surgery was 4.1%, compared to the revision and combined revision/completion rates for unilateral surgery which respectively were 1.1% (odds ratio [OR] 0.27; 95% CI 0.11-0.67; = .002) and 18.0% (OR 5.16; 95% CI 3.31-8.06; < .0001). The unilateral versus bilateral supraglottic stenosis rates were 0% versus 1.2% ( = .011).
Conclusion: Unilateral supraglottoplasty has a significantly higher rate of repeat surgery, mainly attributed to contralateral surgery, when compared with bilateral supraglottoplasty. There is a small but statistically significant risk of supraglottic stenosis in bilateral procedures. The benefit of a unilateral procedure should be weighed against the cost of subjecting patients to a 4-fold increased risk of repeat surgery.

Nonintubated airway surgery is an innovative procedure for tracheal tumors or stenosis. It avoids intubation and the interference of cross-field intubation, reducing airway trauma and postoperative complications. Utilizing supraglottic devices and short-acting anesthetics, it maintains spontaneous ventilation, facilitates surgery, and enhances recovery after surgery.

Article Synopsis
- A male patient in his 60s collapsed and exhibited pulseless electrical activity when ambulance personnel arrived; they inserted a supraglottic airway and transported him to a hospital.
- Upon arrival, he regained circulation and was diagnosed with Stanford type B acute aortic dissection, along with swelling in his neck.
- The cardiac arrest was attributed to severe airway narrowing caused by a retropharyngeal hematoma related to the aortic dissection, highlighting the need for thorough airway evaluation in such cases.

Acquired subglottic stenosis is a common complication of endotracheal intubation in infants. The risk increases in trisomy 21, patients undergoing bypass surgery, and having gastroesophageal reflux disease. Less invasive endoscopic balloon dilatation of subglottic stenosis has become a more common treatment modality compared to open surgical technique.
