OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the risk of @entity5142 after surgical excision of congenital @entity2695 . DESIGN: Retrospective analysis and case series. SETTING: Tertiary care teaching hospital. @entity1 : A total of 13 pediatric @entity1 diagnosed with @entity2695 with unilateral, bilateral, or circular lesions and more than 50% airway obstruction between 1992 and 2001. INTERVENTION: Open surgical excision was performed as a single-stage procedure either as primary or secondary intention. The cricoid cartilage was left open at the end of the procedure. Postoperative intubation was carried out in a pediatric intensive care unit. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: An adequate airway after surgical excision. RESULTS: All @entity1 were successfully extubated. No recurrence was noted. Three @entity1 developed @entity5142 , two grade 1 and one grade 2. @entity5953 showed a favorable outcome and did not require reintubation. One needed endoscopic management of the @entity850 . Of these 3 cases, 2 occurred after @entity544 laser treatment (out of 3) and 1 after circumferential dissection (out of 3). CONCLUSIONS: Extubation after surgery was successful in all cases of @entity2695 . Risk of @entity5142 was limited and occurred only after circumferential dissection, especially if associated with prior traumatic laser damage of the @entity2695 .
