Conclusion
“Our systematic review demonstrated significant improvement and resolution of symptoms for patients with type 1 laryngeal clefts treated with endoscopic repair as compared with other modalities. More prospective and controlled studies comparing treatment strategies with validated instruments to measure outcomes are necessary to determine their efficacy in the management of type 1 laryngeal clefts.”
