Abstract
Seventeen patients with subglottic and tracheal stenosis have been treated with laser surgery. Six patients had airway stenosis caused by malignant tumors. Out of sixteen patients who required emergency endolaryngeal Laser surgeries, Twelve patients could achieve satisfactory result, with enough space for airation.
Five cases with airway tumors underwent Laser surgeries for creating enough airway, however, only one patient have got excellent result, and rest of five patients failed to have enough airway, or fair airway openings.
Airway obstructions caused by tumors can be controlled well enough immediately after the Laser operations, though long term follow up after the operations confirmed recurrence of tumors and this is to be overcome in clinical future follow up.
