Systematic review/meta-analysis comparing successful outcomes after single vs. double-stage laryngotracheal reconstruction

No difference in decannulation rates was seen between SSLTR and DSLTR when comparing similar grades of stenosis except in grade 3 stenosis. With worsening stenosis, the success rate declines with both methods. Prospective studies with standardized enrollment criteria and reported outcomes are needed to better understand the advantages and disadvantages of each approach.
