AbstractBackground:We report the case of an unusual late presentation of congenital tracheal stenosis in a 13-year-old boy. He was treated with minimally invasive Coblation resection of the stenotic segment, avoiding a major open tracheal resection and reconstruction. This case report is the first to document the use of an ultra-fine Coblation wand in the treatment of congenital tracheal stenosis.Results:The case proceeded well, without any complications. The patient had a fully healed and patent trachea at 12-week post-operative review.Conclusion:Complex cases of congenital stenosis should be managed with a multidisciplinary approach. Different and novel treatment options should be explored to find one that suits the individual patient. Minimally invasive Coblation technology can offer less invasive treatment with quicker recovery and shorter hospitalisation.

We believe the article by Gardner et al., "The Evaluation of Racemic Epinephrine in the Treatment of Infectious Croup," in the July 1973 issue of Pediatrics deserves comment. In our paper, "Ten-Year Experience with IPPB in the Treatment of Acute Laryngotracheobronchitis," referred to by Gardner et al., we described a method which, in our hands, totally eliminated the necessity for tracheostomy in infectious croup, with no mortality. To date we have found it necessary to perform tracheostomies on two patients with croup, both of whom were subsequently found to have congenital tracheal stenosis necessitating long-term tracheotomies; otherwise the effectiveness of our regimen in the treatment of infectious croup remains unchanged (100%), now over a 13-year period.
