Wootten Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery AbstractObjectivePosterior glottis impairment alters breathing, voicing, and swallowing. Bilateral vocal fold movement impairment (BVFMI) occurs when the vocal cords are fixed/remain midline. Studies inadequately assessed endoscopic posterior costal cartilage grafting (enPCCG) for BVFMI across broad ages. We aim to assess decannulation and prosthesis free airway in children and adults who have undergone enPCCG.Study DesignRetrospective cohort.SettingReferral center.MethodsThis study included adults and children who received enPCCG for BVFMI (2010‐2018) and were followed for 35 months on average. The main outcome was successful decannulation of patients, or airway improvement in those without tracheostomy. Data on comorbidities, surgical complications, and interventions following surgery were collected.ResultsTen children and 11 adults underwent enPCCG for BVFMI. Eighty‐one percent of patients had a tracheostomy at surgery; adults were more likely to have a tracheostomy at surgery (P = 0.035), and to undergo double‐staged procedure (P = 0.035) and stent (P = 0.008). Average stent duration was 29.7 days. Overall decannulation rate was 76% (90% for children; 70% for adults). Children were more likely to receive postoperative intensive care unit care (P = 0.004). Adults had mean 4.4 post‐enPCCG interventions per patient compared to children's mean 3.91 interventions. The most common interventions were steroid injection (17.6%) and balloon dilation (16%). Preliminary analysis suggests postoperative dysphonia was reported in 66.7% of patients; postoperative dysphagia was rare.ConclusionEnPCCG was more successful at achieving decannulation in children. Adults required additional interventions. A double‐staged operation with prolonged stenting is recommended for adult patients. A majority of patients were decannulated at last follow‐up. 10.1002/ohn.620 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/termsAndConditions#vor
