How I do it: Novel use of a modified nasopharyngeal airway in laryngotracheal stenosis as a temporary stent

BackgroundThis paper reports the innovative use of a modified nasopharyngeal airway device as a temporary stent in patients with laryngotracheal stenosis. It also discusses the technique of endoscopic stent placement, and our experience in terms of the indications and suitability.MethodThe nasophary...
