Abstract

The use of keels in the treatment of anterior glottic stenosis is well established. A variety of methods for keel fixation have previously been documented. We describe a simple technique of securing a Silastic keel, placed endoscopically, with a simple percutaneous suture, after laser vaporization of an anterior commissure web.
