OBJECTIVE We reviewed our experience with pediatric single-stage laryngotracheal reconstruction (SSLTR) to identify factors that affect postoperative outcomes, including the need for reintubation and tracheostomy. METHODS Retrospective chart review was done. RESULTS In total, 190 children underwent 200 SSLTRs; 29% were reintubated, and 15% required postoperative tracheostomy. Currently, 96% are decannulated. The use of anterior and posterior costal cartilage grafting, age less than 4 years, sedation for more than 48 hours, a leak pressure around the endotracheal tube at greater than 20 cm H2O, and moderate/severe tracheomalacia significantly increased the rate of reintubation. The duration of stenting did not affect outcomes. Children with anterior and posterior grafts and those with moderate or severe tracheomalacia were more likely to need a postoperative tracheostomy. CONCLUSIONS SSLTR can be effective for the treatment of pediatric laryngotracheal stenosis. Diligent preoperative assessment of the patient and the patient's airway and close postoperative care are important to the success of this operation.
