[The treatment of sub-glottic stenosis by continuous dilatation. Long term results (author's transl)].

From 1973 to 1977, 15 patients with laryngeal stenosis were treated by a method of continuous dilatation in the ENT department of the "Enfants Malades" Hospital. The results were viewed with regard to the importance of the complications, the chance of decanulation, the carrying time of the canula, adaptation to effort, functional respiratory tests, the value of language, intellectual and psychic repercussions, and repercussions on the social life. In this series the method of dilatation seems remarkably reliable.
