During the current COVID-19 pandemic, several emerging cases of laryngotracheal stenosis
following prolonged intubation and tracheostomy are being reported. The patients' pre-
existing comorbidities, the disease itself and the pronation maneuvers increase the risk for
endolaryngeal and tracheal damage. In this commentary, we report 4 such patients with
acquired severe laryngotracheal stenosis. We describe their airway lesions, the surgical
treatment they received, and the outcomes.
