Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical characteristics,treatment and prognosis of laryngotracheal stenosis due to relapsing polychondritis (RP).METHODS The clinical data of 6 patients with laryngotracheal stenosis due to RP were reviewed retrospectively.RESULTS From 1996 to 2006,6 patients with laryngotracheal stenosis due to RP were managed in our hospital.Respiratory tract lesions were diffuse and extensive.Of them,4 patients accepted laryngotracheal reconstruction using surgical flaps with or without pedicle,2 accepted dilation of trachea in thoracic segments.Five patients were cured without recurrence.CONCLUSION Treatment of laryngotracheal stenosis due to RP is very difficult.If the surgical opportunity and methods were selected correctly according to each patient,good results can also be obtained.
