Preface

Congenital and acquired pediatric airway disease continues to pose significant challenges for many professional caretakers due to the complexity of these patients, often requiring careful diagnostic investigation and yet, urgent and demanding reconstructive treatments. The best time to correct any type of pediatric airway disease is at the first surgical procedure. In patients that have been treated improperly or with complicated outcomes, subsequent surgery is more difficult and may require multiple steps.
