Extract

Surgical management includes the initial evaluation, tracheostomy and subsequent monitoring of the child requiring surgical reconstruction, although most of this presentation concerns reconstructive techniques and results. Previous presentations have dealt with the initial endoscopic and radiological evaluation of children who present with stridor due to acquired subglottic stenosis: this includes microlaryngoscopy and bronchoscopy in order to determine the anatomical and functional situation in the larynx and tracheobronchial tree. Mr. Bull has discussed the techniques involved and Dr. Facer the anaesthetic aspects.
