Abstract

Two successfully treated cases, one of laryngotracheal stenosis & another of pharyngocutaneous fistula have been presented. These complications developed due to bad initial management & poor physical health following cut-throat Injury, It was observed that cheaper stents like polythelene endotracheal tube gave good remits like costlier stents in the treatment of stenosis. Mild degree of subglottic stenosis could he dilated to yield good airway thus avoiding major surgery.It should be remembered that proper initial management & early repair of the 'cut-throat injury' would avert these complications.Post-operative follow-up for at least a year & more is mandatory to assess the final outcome.
