Abstract

The endoscope has long been an invaluable tool in assessment of the paediatric airway. Recently, its applications for definitive surgery of the airway have greatly increased, due to innovative surgical techniques, development of new instruments, improvements in anaesthesia and availability of new medications for endoscopic use. This review discusses the move towards endoscopic techniques in the management of paediatric airway disorders.
