Transnasal Endoscopic Treatment of Congenital Choanal Atresia
Abstract
Congenital choanal atresia is a rare upper airway obstruction characterized by unilateral or bilateral blockage of posterior nasal apertura. Unilateral cases are diagnosed late with nonspecific symptoms such as nasal obstruction and rhinorrhea. However in bilateral cases an im-mediate surgery is mandatory since neonates are solely nasal breathers. In this study the data of patients who underwent transnasal endoscop-ic surgery for congenital choanal atresia in otolaryngology department between January 2010 and February 2013 were retrospectively evalu-ated. In certain patients a postoperative stent was applied. Subsequently, the clinical findings and postoperative results of these patients were assessed. The prognostic factors which affect the success rate of endoscopic choanal surgery were discussed in the highlights of previous articles. Transnasal endoscopic choanaplasty technique is a safe and less morbid procedure with high rate of surgical success. However restenosis is still a common complication observed after a period of follow-up. We concluded that more comprehensive and double-blinded researches with more patients are required to elucidate this clinical disease.
