Abstract
Post-intubation laryngotracheal stenosis in children is an important therapeutic problem in pediatric otolaryngology. The numbers of children treated by prolonged intubation and resuscitated children are increasing. In the Department of Pediatric Otolaryngology in Warsaw, 6 children were treated for post-intubation laryngotracheal stenosis. In the treatment the method of longitudinal intralaryngotracheal incisions was applied; in 3 cases with tracheotomy followed by cellophane separation and in 3 cases without the use of separator and without tracheotomy. There were no complications connected directly with the operation. Pneumonia was a frequent later complication making treatment difficult. Good therapeutic results were obtained.
