While balloon dilation of the airway is not new, the remarkable adoption of this over the last 20 years has caused a marked change in pediatric airway surgery. This talk would serve to not only describe the history of balloon dilation, but look at the evolution of balloon dilation, including indications, guidelines, adjunctive procedures, and novel tips and tricks. It will also discuss the pros and cons of compliant and non-compliant balloons, and the relevance of pressure vs diameter.
To familiarize the audience with the evolution of airway balloon and especially the nuances and novel techniques now being introduced, as well as guidelines on how to select the appropriate balloon to use for a given pathology.

Dr. Rutter has developed several operations (eg, epiglottic petiole repositioning, endoscopic anterior and posterior cricoid split for neonatal vocal cord paralysis), and has significantly modified several others (eg, cricotracheal resection, slide tracheoplasty). Over the years with his innovations and reputation as an airway surgeon, he has popularized operations such as airway balloon dilation and slide tracheoplasty.
