- Abstract
Objective: 1) Review outcomes after supraglottoplasty forlaryngomalacia. 2) Identify risk factors for supraglottoplasty failure. Method: This study is a retrospective case series evaluating patient outcomes after supraglottoplasty at an academic medical center between 2004 and 2010. Surgical failure was defined as need for postoperative revision surgery, tracheotomy tube, or gastrostomy tube. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to identify risk factors for failure. Results: We identified 95 children who underwent supraglottoplasty. After excluding patients within adequate follow‐up data, 74 patients were included. Based on chart review, 12 (16%) of those patients were defined as failures according to the criteria above. Conclusion: Outcomes after supraglottoplasty were comparable to previous reports in the literature. History of prematurity should be considered a risk factor for surgical failure.
