Abstract

Laryngeal trauma is an uncommon injury. This has made it difficult for a common management pathway to evolve and controversies remain. Methods of airway control, usage of investigations and the role of stents or plates in surgical management are reviewed. It is important not to delay treatment due to the poor voice and airway outcome of chronic laryngeal stenosis.
