Abstract
Dysphagia and formation of scarring stenoses after laryngectomy are common complications in oncological practice. One of the treatment methods for the strictures is endoscopic balloon dilation which is characterized by relatively high effectiveness. However, in patients who underwent both laryngectomy and chemoradiation treatment (before or after surgery), the risk of recurring scarring strictures is significantly higher. The article describes a case of successful treatment of a patient with dysphagia after integrative treatment of laryngeal cancer consisting of chemoradiotherapy and laryngectomy. After multiple procedures of balloon dilation, endoscopic stenting of the scar narrowing was performed.
