The aim of the study was to optimize the treatment of patients with subglottic laryngeal stenosis. We examined a total of 14 patients who presented with subglottic laryngeal stenosis. The etiological factors and underlying conditions of laryngeal stenosis were prolonged intubation in 4 patients, Wegener's granulomatosis in 6 patients, and idiopathic stenosis of the larynx in 4 patients. All patients underwent balloon dilatation using videoendoscopic techniques. Surgical treatment of all patients allowed to permanently expand the lumen of the subglottic part of the larynx, reduce the duration of inpatient treatment and rehabilitation of patients. Restenosis of the laryngeal lining stenting was observed in one patient with Wegener's granulomatosis, which was associated with a relapse of the underlying disease.
