The focus of this clinic will be to review the diagnosisand treatment modalities for neonates and children withairway obstruction. The clinician for this course hastreated children and neonates with DO over the last 7years and will present the techniques, pitfalls, and out-comes of his experience.

The use and long-term outcomes of DO and otherairway-changing surgery will be discussed.
