Abstract
The management of laryngeal trauma represents one of the most challenging problems for an ENT surgeon. The alternatives vary from a “wait and see” approach to extensive and immediate reconstructive interventions, but in all cases the risk of laryngeal stenosis remains high. This translates into a poor quality of life for the patients and increased costs for the health system. The use of a resorbable plate for the reconstruction of the affected cricoid has the advantages of requiring a single intervention and enabling the patient to return to his normal activities in a shorter period of time. It is why we present this method of approach, which can be a viable alternative in managing these difficult cases.
