[Etiology and treatment results of laryngeal and tracheal stenosis].

The paper provides results of examinations and surgical treatment in 190 patients with laryngeal and tracheal stenosis of different origin. The most favourable results were obtained in patients with postresuscitation stenosis, middle paralysis, posttraumatic stenosis: up to 75%, 71% and 55% of the responders, respectively. The canule remains for life in 20% of the surgical patients, because they have severe laryngeal and tracheal deformities associated with other affections.
