Objective: To discuss the presentation, evaluation, and management of congenital laryngeal webs with subglottic stenosis.
Methods: The clinical data of six children were retrospectively analyzed.
Results: The median age of these children who came to our hospital was 14 months (range 1-26 months). A tracheotomy was performed in all these six children. The median age of the patients who underwent tracheotomy was 4 months (range 1-11 months). The surgical method was T-tube implantation combined with cricoid cartilage reconstruction. The median age of these patients at the time of operation was 22 months (range 13-35 months). The T-tube remained in place for 3-8 months, with a median time of 6 months. The tracheal tubes in all these children were successfully removed. All patients were followed up for more than 2 years without recurrence.
Conclusions: Children who have congenital laryngeal webs with subglottic stenosis required early tracheotomy. Open laryngoplasty combined with T-tube implantation and cricoid cartilage reconstruction may play a crucial role in the treatment of these children.

Article Synopsis
- Cotton-Myer Ⅳ subglottic airway atresia is a severe tracheal narrowing that can seriously impact patients' quality of life and pose life-threatening risks, often requiring long-term tracheotomy.
- A study from Beijing Tiantan Hospital reviewed 10 cases of this condition to find better treatment methods for airway atresia.
- The article highlights success with Montgomery T-tube implantation after a reverse puncture airway recanalization, improving the outcomes for affected patients.

Objective: Patients with laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS) often have dysphagia after laryngotracheal reconstruction with T-tube insertion, which affects the quality of life. The purpose of this study is to observe the effect of swallowing rehabilitation therapy on the improvement of quality of life in patients of otolaryngology-head and neck surgery with dysphagia undergoing T-tube implantation treatment through longitudinal study.
Methods: Thirty-eight patients with LTS who experienced dysphagia after laryngotracheal reconstruction and T-tube implantation were recruited.

Objective: Tracheal transplantation could be a better option for patients with long segmental laryngotracheal stenosis or defects, but the need for immunosuppressants limits its widespread use due to the antigenicity of the tracheal epithelium. Chemically treated or cryopreserved nonviable tracheal allografts have no immunogenicity but lead to necrosis and stenosis in long-term outcomes. The present report describes the 5-year outcomes of de-epithelialized viable tracheal allotransplantation without immunosuppressants in a patient with severe laryngotracheal stenosis.
