His association with laryngomalacia is not set however determining the coexistence of these two diseases and their severity is of utmost importance as they condition the prognosis of a patient with Pierre Robin syndrome. Currently one of the surgical techniques used in patients with severe laryngomalacia, is assisted endoscopic microdebrider supraglottoplasty.
