Operative repair of anterolateral stenosis of the subglottic larynx and upper trachea. A. Anteroposterior view. B. Lateral view. The figures demonstrate the extent of stenosis and ultimate lines of transection. The stenosis extends into the subglottic larynx well above the border of the cricoid anteriorly. There is, however, no involvement of the posterior mucosal wall of the subglottic larynx or of the upper trachea. The proximal line of transection is centered in the midline to divide the larynx from the trachea posteriorly at the lower border of the posterior cricoid lamina or cricoid plate. Inferiorly, the most proximal tracheal ring of residual trachea is cut backward to posterior ends. C and D. Larynx and trachea after removal of the specimen. The recurrent laryngeal nerves have been left intact but are not dissected out, as might be suggested by the diagrammatic representation. The mucous membrane of the larynx Source: Tracheal Diseases, Johns Hopkins Textbook of Cardiothoracic Surgery has been transected sharply at the same level of division as the cartilage.
