We studied the early and long-term response of idiopathic laryngotracheal stenosis (ILTS) to treatment by 1-stage laryngotracheal or tracheal resection and reconstruction in 73 patients. Nineteen of the 72 (26%) noted no difference in their voices or any difficulty in breathing after reconstruction. Forty-seven (64%) described loss of ability to project their voices as loudly as before or noted some difficulty in singing as well as they did before. Five (7%) had various degrees of dyspnea or stridor on effort. One needed continued dilation. The median follow-up was 8 years. Surgical treatment gave good or excellent results in 90% of these patients with ILTS. Recurrence or progression of stenosis was not evident.
