This article discusses the management of laryngeal trauma in conscious normopneic patients, dyspneic patients, unconscious intubated patients, and cases of penetrating trauma. The treatment options include transnasal fibroscopy, CT scans, panendoscopy, tracheostomy, intubation, surgery, and laryngeal prostheses using LT-MOLDTM. Controversies regarding the duration of stenting are also discussed.
