Abstract
Topical application of mitomycin C is best used as an adjunct in airway surgeries together with combination of other modalities of endoscopic techniques such as excision, balloon dilatation and laser treatment in treating subglottic stenosis. We present a case of a 12-year-old boy who acquired Cotton–Myer grade 3 subglottic stenosis 6 months post endotracheal intubation. The stenotic segment was treated with cautery-assisted excision followed by balloon dilatation and topical application of mitomycin C at the raw area. The patient recovered well with improvement of airway diameter, no more symptoms, no more events of restenosis and without the need for multiple procedures.
