Our otolaryngologists have extensive expertise managing complex adult airway problems. Our team will work with you and physician to ensure you receive the best possible evaluation for your disease.
Because airway disease often affects voice and swallowing function, you will receive a comprehensive voice and swallowing evaluation by our voice and swallow team, which includes speech pathologists and physicians.
Adult airway problems may have one or more causes. These include trauma, inflammatory conditions, infection, autoimmune diseases and reflux disease.
There are a variety of techniques to treat laryngotracheal (airway) problems. Our team’s treatment expertise ranges from endoscopy to open airway surgical techniques.
We work closely with anesthesiologists, intensivists, thoracic surgeons, general surgeons, pulmonologists, speech pathologists and gastroenterologists to provide comprehensive treatment.
Our program was developed by Robin Cotton, MD, professor of pediatrics otolaryngology at UC and physician at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center.
