Optimal timing and technique for endoscopic management of dysphagia in pediatric aerodigestive patients

The best strategy to manage an interarytenoid defect [Type 1 laryngeal cleft (LC-1) or deep interarytenoid groove (DIG)] in pediatric aerodigestive patients with dysphagia remains uncertain. This study compared benefit of interarytenoid augmentation (IAA) to suture repair or clinical observation alone in pediatric patients.A 3-year retrospective, single-center analysis of children with dysphagia undergoing endoscopic airway evaluation was...
