| description | Purpose: To identify different endoscopic techniques for treatment of idiopathic subglottic stenosis (iSGS) and evaluate treatment results.Methods: Embase and Cochrane Library were searched for publications on endoscopically treated iSGS. Identified interventions included procedures with cold knife, dilation (rigid or balloon), or laser (CO2 or Nd:YAG), used in several combinations and supplemented with mitomycin C and/or corticosteroids. Primary endpoint was time interval between successive endoscopic procedures. Secondary endpoints were stenosis recurrence rate, total number of interventions per patient during follow-up, tracheotomy rate, and rate of open surgery.Results: Eighty-six abstracts were reviewed and 15 series were included in the analysis. Mean sample size was 57 subjects (range 10–384, σ 90.84) and mean age was 47 years (range 36–54, σ 4.45). Time interval ranged from 2 to 21 months [weighted mean (WM): 12]. Rate of stenosis recurrence ranged from 40 to 100% (WM: 68%). Mean amount of interventions per patient varied between 1.8 and 8.3 (WM: 3.7). Tracheotomy rate varied between 0 and 26% (WM: 7%) and rate of open surgery varied between 0 and 27% (WM: 10%). Single modality CO2 lasering showed highest rate of recurrence, highest amount of interventions, and shortest time interval. Combined techniques generated overall better outcomes.Conclusions: A multitude of endoscopic techniques are being used for treating iSGS, all with a considerable recurrence rate. In this review, no superior modality could be identified. Consequently, endoscopic management could be considered a valuable primary treatment option for iSGS, but open surgery still plays an important role. |
