Surgery is the first line of treatment for laryngotracheal stenosis; Montgomery tube or permanent tracheostomy have been so far the only alternatives. Nd-YAG laser resection and indwelling endotracheal stents have rarely been used in subglottic stenosis for anatomic and technical reasons. We have used the latter approach to optimize the timing of surgery or to achieve palliation without tracheostomy.
