Posterior cricoid-graft mismatch in laryngotracheal reconstruction

In laryngotracheal reconstruction (LTR) with sutureless posterior cricoid grafting (PCG), the inset graft's thickness may not precisely approximate the anterior-posterior depth of the divided posterior cricoid plate. This case series highlights this phenomenon and describes the clinical profiles and airway characteristics of children with similar subglottic stenosis grades undergoing LTR with PCG with varying degrees of graft-cricoid mismatch.
