The incidence of subglottic stenosis in children has risen rapidly in the last 20 years as more advanced techniques enable younger preterm neonates to survive. There has been a similar rise in the number of different surgical methods devised to alleviate the stenosis; success has been claimed for each technique. The importance of normal laryngeal growth throughout an often protracted period of surgical intervention may, however, have been underestimated. This study analyses the data from two units in London over the last five years and assesses retrospectively the benefit of different surgical approaches.
在过去20年中，随着更先进的技术使更小的早产新生儿得以存活，儿童声门下狭窄的发病率迅速上升。为缓解这种狭窄而设计的不同手术方法的数量也有类似的增长；每种技术都宣称取得了成功。然而，在通常漫长的手术干预期间，正常喉部生长的重要性可能被低估了。本研究分析了伦敦两个医疗单位过去五年的数据，并回顾性评估了不同手术方法的益处。
