Abstract
The most common cause of laryngeal stenosis is trauma. The treatment of this condition is difficult as attested to by the numerous procedures described in the literature. Recently a new modality, the C02 laser, has been added to the list. The advantage of this procedure is that it can be performed endoscopically. The purpose of this paper is to present 16 cases of traumatic laryngeal stenosis treated by the laser. The chance of achieving a successful result was greatest in patients with supraglottic stenosis due to redundant soft tissue or localized scaring.
