This study showed no difference in rates of tracheostomy, decannulation, web recurrence, revision, or mortality between endoscopic and open approaches for the treatment of Grades I and II webs. For Grades III and IV, open surgical techniques achieved a lower revision rate. Results should be interpreted in light of associated increased morbidity with open procedures.
