The most characteristic etiological factors of damage to the larynx and trachea at present, according to, are intubation, trauma and autoimmune diseases. These types of damage lead to an inflammatory process, which in the larynx and trachea tends to have a primary chronic course, affecting cartilaginous frame, accompanied by persistent infiltration and tissue swelling. Without targeted treatment, such an inflammatory process leads to the development of chondroperichondritis with subsequent atresia of the larynx and cervical trachea above the tracheotomy tube, cicatricial narrowing of the thoracic trachea, persistent impairment of the vocal apparatus and other consequences.
