The laryngotracheal endoscopic study with 100 % proved to be that of the highest sensitivity for the diagnosis, followed by simple X-ray of the trachea with 97. 8 %. All the admitted patients, excepting one, had undergone tracheostomy en entering in our center. Severe stenosis was under 5 mm in most of them. Tracheal resection with anastomosis was used in 71 % of the members of the series, whereas tracheofissure with placing of Montgomery´s T- prosthesis was used in the rest. There was a morbidity of 29 % and a mortality of 6.3 %. The final result was evaluated as good in 85.4 % of the individuals included in the group, satisfactory in 6.3 % and bad in 2 %
