The paper presents the experience of treatment of patients with cicatricial stenosis of the larynx and cervical trachea having sidewalls laringotraheostomy deficit after the first stages of reconstructive operations. A comparative analysis of treatment outcomes of patients with such pathology different in the choice of used reconstructive material (autocartilage, allocartilage, xenomaterial material based on polytetrafluoroethylene) has been performed. There is given a comparative assessment of the material used for the reconstruction of the side and front walls of the larynx and cervical trachea.
