Wenzel AM, et al. - Authors evaluated the effect of balloon laryngoplasty on clinical and surgical outcomes in pediatric patients with acute subglottic stenosis. Results demonstrated an association of balloon laryngoplasty with a high success rate, when used for management of acute laryngeal stenosis, presenting lower morbidity than open surgery. Fewer procedures under general anesthesia and a lower burden of treatment-related morbidity, as denoted by shorter pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) stay, less antibiotic use, earlier postoperative resumption of oral feeding, and a lower incidence of postoperative complications and fever were seen in the patients treated by balloon laryngoplasty.
