Endoscopic repair of choanal atresia: practical operative technique

N Uri et al. Am J Otolaryngol. 2001 Sep-Oct.

Abstract

Choanal atresia is a well-known entity with various surgical approaches. The introduction of nasal endoscopic surgery made the endoscopic approach the most popular one because of excellent visualization and a good view of the choana to remove enough vomerian septal bone. Seven patients with choanal atresia were treated with 9 endoscopic procedures. Some practical operative details are described that can minimize the chance for restenosis.
