Glottic airway patency can be compromised by bilateral vocal fold palsy, anterior webbing or a posterior segment scar, which may be significant enough to impair arytenoid movement.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S002221511100301X_sec2\"><jats:title>Method:<\/jats:title><jats:p>A retrospective analysis of a prospective database of patients (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a034) treated by a specialist airway surgeon. All patients underwent endoscopic treatment with a CO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> laser in an attempt to improve airway calibre and, in 12 patients, to decannulate tracheostomy tubes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S002221511100301X_sec3\"><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Twenty-one patients had bilateral vocal fold palsy and 13 had predominantly posterior glottic stenosis. A variety of pathology-directed treatment approaches were used to achieve good functional results. Four patients required a second endoscopic procedure. The overall revision rate was 5 per cent for bilateral fold palsy and 23 per cent for posterior glottic stenosis (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.05). All patients had an adequate functional airway calibre, and all 12 tracheotomised patients were decannulated.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S002221511100301X_sec4\"><jats:title>Discussion:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Pathology-directed endoscopic laser surgery is safe and effective treatment for glottic stenosis. Rather prescriptive use of unilateral or bilateral cordotomy or combined cordo-arytenoidectomy, clinicians must perform the procedure that will treat the lesion most adequately. Our success rate compared favourably with the best reported results.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s002221511100301x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,11,1]],"date-time":"2011-11-01T11:21:33Z","timestamp":1320146493000},"page":"503-505","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Endoscopic treatment of glottic stenosis: a report on the safety and efficacy of CO<sub>2<\/sub> laser"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"126","author":[{"given":"F","family":"Riffat","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"C E","family":"Palme","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"D","family":"Veivers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,11,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"S002221511100301X_ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/000348940111001103"},{"key":"S002221511100301X_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/000348949110000905"},{"key":"S002221511100301X_ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0022215109990983"},{"key":"S002221511100301X_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/mhn.2001.111599"},{"key":"S002221511100301X_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/000348949310200201"},{"key":"S002221511100301X_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/000348949610500604"},{"key":"S002221511100301X_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005537-199903000-00014"},{"key":"S002221511100301X_ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005537-199907000-00022"},{"key":"S002221511100301X_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.0307-7772.2004.00775.x"},{"key":"S002221511100301X_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/000348949410301105"}],"container-title":["The Journal of Laryngology &amp; Otology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/services\/aop-cambridge-core\/content\/view\/S002221511100301X","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,25]],"date-time":"2019-04-25T22:09:58Z","timestamp":1556230198000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/product\/identifier\/S002221511100301X\/type\/journal_article"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2011,11,1]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2012,5]]}},"alternative-id":["S002221511100301X"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/s002221511100301x","relation":{},"ISSN":["0022-2151","1748-5460"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0022-2151","type":"print"},{"value":"1748-5460","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2011,11,1]]}}}
