We present the long-term outcome of a cohort of children who were surgically treated for a laryngotracheal stenosis by means of a laryngotracheal reconstruction or a cricotracheal resection. Measurements of pulmonary function, endurance, voice and quality of life were done in order to assess outcome. In our follow-up cohort, the presence of glottic stenosis and comorbidities predisposed for a less favorable outcome at long-term follow up. We discuss the meaning of these findings for current practice as well as provide recommendation for future practice.
