Demographics, stenosis grade, surgical procedure, decannulation status, preoperative feeding status and weight, discharge feeding status, and weights at follow\u2010up were collected. Weights were plotted on standardized growth charts at surgery, during the early postoperative period (1\u20133\u00a0months), and during the late postoperative period (10\u201314\u00a0months). Growth percentiles were compared by the use of Wilcoxon signed rank test.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title><jats:p>Twenty\u2010eight patients (97%) maintained or advanced their feeding status after LTR. Twenty\u2010one patients (72%) were oral feeders at surgery. All of these patients continued the same oral diet postoperatively. Five patients (17%) were dependent on gastrostomy before and after surgery. Three patients (10%) were fed via naso\u2010 or orogastric tubes at surgery. Two of these patients were discharged on an oral diet, and one required a gastrostomy tube. The median growth percentiles at the time of surgery, early postoperative, and late postoperative periods were nine, 18, and 32, respectively. Differences between percentiles at the time of surgery compared with early (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.081) and late follow\u2010up (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.074) were not significant. In patients who were not dependent on gastrostomy, there was a significant increase in growth percentile at early follow\u2010up (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.026).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title><jats:p>The performance of LTR does not influence feeding status.
