Abstract
Dysphonia is common after pediatric laryngotracheal reconstruction (LTR). Surgical techniques designed to rehabilitate the voice after LTR have not yet been proposed. Herein we describe a case of a patient with severe glottal insufficiency after LTR who was treated with a cricoid reduction laryngoplasty in order to surgically rehabilitate the voice. Removal of the posterior costal cartilage graft was effective at improving the quality of the voice and left the patient with an adequate airway even during moderate exercise.
