Severe laryngeal stenosis in children can be corrected successfully with surgery. Re-canalization of the larynx allows for nasal respiration, reduces the danger of respiratory infections, contributes to improved tissue oxygenation, and stimulates the child's psychosomatic development. Contrary to prior otolarngeal approaches to laryngeal stenosis in children, it has been shown that surgery does not hinder the growth of the larynx, but rather stimulates the normalization of laryngeal function; and this function itself stimulates laryngeal skeleton. It is important that surgery be performed as soon as possible in order to avoid an erroneous functional mechanism which is difficult to correct later. This can also lead to chronic irreversible atrophic and fibrotic processes in the laryngeal mucosa.
儿童严重喉狭窄可通过手术成功矫正。喉部再通可实现经鼻呼吸，降低呼吸道感染风险，有助于改善组织氧合，并促进儿童的心身发育。与以往治疗儿童喉狭窄的耳鼻喉科方法相反，研究表明手术不会阻碍喉部生长，反而会刺激喉功能正常化；而这种功能本身又会刺激喉骨架。重要的是要尽快进行手术，以避免后期难以纠正的错误功能机制。这也可能导致喉黏膜出现慢性不可逆的萎缩和纤维化过程。
