The occurrence of scar laryngostenosis due to traumas and removal of laryngeal tumors is now on the increase. This negative trend may be corrected by rejection of long-term intubation, immediate conversion of crico-, conico- and thyrotomy into tracheostomy, employment of preventive laryngostomy in initial treatment of patients with serious trauma of the larynx. It should be taken into consideration that in restoration of respiration through natural airways bronchopulmonary complications, dysphonia, dysphagia, hair growth into the laryngeal lumen are possible.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease has become a serious problem not only for general practitioners but for other specialists as well. It is caused by the fact that its clinical picture and symptomatology are very rich. Beside characteristic symptoms such as: heartburn, eructation, gastric contents reflux, epigastric burning or dysphagia, there may appear extroesophageal symptoms (frequently as single or leading ones). It is generally though that the above symptoms result from the direct effect of gastric contents on throat and larynx and/or through vagus nerve. Direct effect of hydrochloric acid and other gastric juice components on larynx may be the cause of subglottic laryngostenosis, neoplastic transformation and development of squamous cell carcinoma. This, it may be concluded that gastroesophageal reflux disease should be in the sphere of interest of laryngologists as well as gastroenterologists. Cooperation of these specialists is particularly useful as it quickens the choice of proper diagnostic procedure and an introduction of an appropriate therapeutic treatment.
