Of these, 38 patients met inclusion requirements. The mean age at surgery was 41\u2009\u00b1\u200947 months. Most patients (n\u2009=\u200937, 97.4%) had significant comorbidities such as secondary airway lesions (n\u2009=\u200933, 91.7%), a genetic or syndromic disorder (n\u2009=\u200925, 69.4%), and dysphagia (n\u2009=\u200929, 76.3%). All patients had a concurrent procedure at the time of epiglottopexy with supraglottoplasty (n\u2009=\u200924, 63.2%) and lingual tonsillectomy (n\u2009=\u200916, 42.1%) being the most common. No changes in initiation or patterns of swallowing were noted postoperatively. A total of 7 (18.4%) patients had worsening swallow function: 2 had new\u2010onset dysphagia, and 5 had worsening pre\u2010existing dysphagia.
