Sub-glottic stenosis may be complex in shape, making challenging its treatment with standard commercially available stents. Personalized stents can lead to successful treatment; however they are not readily available due to the customization waiting time. We report the use of on-site customized temporary silicone stents for difficult benign sub-glottic stenosis in five patients unfit for surgery.
