Abstract
A 18-year-old female suffered from hoarseness and dyspnea caused by a traffic accident. She un derwent endotracheal intubation and was extubated the next day. The symptom was emerged and la ryngeal stenosis and granulation were found by endoscopic examination, before she visited our hospital. The laryngofissure was performed and granulation and cicatrix were removed under general anesthesia. To keep subglottic space wide enough, we covered the glottal lumen with skin flap and placed a stent on the flap. A month later the stent was removed, then we observed the glottic condi tion for a year. There was no sign of restenosis, so we closed tracheostoma. The voice function has improved in both aerodynamics and acoustic parameters.
