To the Editor We read with great interest the recently published article by Lowery AS et al in JAMA Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery, where it was shown that early intervention for patients with postintubation laryngeal injury was associated with a decreased duration of tracheostomy dependence, a higher rate of decannulation, and fewer surgical procedures compared with late intervention. Patients who underwent early intervention also avoided open reconstruction. We appreciate the important information presented in this study and we wish to comment on some associated issues.
