Supraglottoplasty surgery types 1-3: A practical classification system for laryngomalacia surgery

This descriptive review identified 53 articles with 1669 patients from the included articles detailing multiple variations of supraglottoplasty techniques. The new classification supplements a previously established system describing laryngomalacia, and simplifies the supraglottoplasty into three descriptive and logical types of categories. Our classification system would give surgeons a universal language to describe the supraglottoplasty performed, which could improve reporting of techniques, and facilitate future communication and research.
