Abstract
INTRODUCTION:In severe cases of posterior glottic stenosis, when both cricoarytenoid joints (CAJ) are destroyed and fixed by scar tissue, often only the external surgical interventions have been proven to be successful. These procedures require tracheostomy. The aim of this study is to introduce a minimally invasive endoscopic method. MATERIALM avg.PIF II:2.15 L/s; avg.PIF III:2.46 L/s. B: avg.PIF I:1.03 L/s; avg.PIF II:2.49 L/s; avg.PIF III:2 L/s. The recovery of vocal cord function was supported by objective voice analysis in A, and the voice remained hoarse but socially acceptable in B. DISCUSSION:This minimally invasive method provides immediate and stable significant increase in breathing even in the difficult cases of posterior glottic stenosis, without tracheostomy. Moreover, it can be a reversible method from the phonation’s point of view.
