The attendees will hear a short lecture from all faculty on the endoscopic procedures (Repair of Laryngotracheal Clefts, endoscopic dilation for subglottic stenosis and supraglottoplasty for severe laryngomalacia) and then will have the opportunity to perform these procedures with the guidance of the expert faculty. Demos of the procedures will be given by the faculty at the start of the sim session using the Storz 3 D Endoscopy system

Learning Objectives:

To understand which pediatric airway pathologies are amenable to endoscopic airway surgery
To understand the aerodigestve management of pediatric airway problems
To practice endoscopic airway surgery using 3 D printed laryngeal models including cleft repair, stenosis dilation and others
