Treatment of Laryngotracheal Stenosis
If you are having trouble breathing at the time of you exam, urgent intervention, such as administration of medication or even admission to the hospital, may be needed to ensure your safety.

Depending on the results of your examination, you may require further workup in the form of scans, blood work or biopsies.

Many different treatment options are available depending upon your diagnosis.

A mass obstructing the airway: A biopsy if often needed, and treatment depends upon the diagnosis.

Voice box or tracheal stenosis: While medications can sometimes be used to slow or reverse an inflammatory process that is causing voice box or tracheal airway obstruction, surgery is often needed to open up the airway to improve your breathing.

Vocal cord immobility: Treatment depends upon the cause of the vocal cord immobility but often requires surgery to open up your airway.
