Abstract

Type IV laryngotracheoesophageal cleft (LTEC) is a rare congenital anomaly that is associated with high morbidity and mortality despite various forms of surgical repair. This article presents our strategy for surgical management of type IV LTECs using a combination of lateral thoraco-cervical and laryngoscopic approaches.
