    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Congenital Disorders

    Background:

    • Choanal atresia is a congenital nasal obstruction affecting newborns.
    • It can be unilateral or bilateral, and bony or membranous.
    • Associated congenital anomalies are common, necessitating thorough patient evaluation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report outcomes of surgical repair for choanal atresia.
    • To compare the efficacy of transnasal and transpalatal surgical approaches.
    • To emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and comprehensive assessment.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of eight patients with choanal atresia.
    • Surgical repair attempts using transnasal and transpalatal approaches.
    • Use of computerized tomography for diagnosis and evaluation.

    Main Results:

    • Transnasal approach in infants led to stenosis in three cases, requiring reintervention.
    • Transpalatal approach was successful in five patients and in three cases of stenosis.
    • The transpalatal route demonstrated better outcomes with fewer complications.

    Conclusions:

    • The transpalatal approach is recommended for choanal atresia repair due to superior results.
    • Early diagnosis and management are crucial for affected infants.
    • Computerized tomography is valuable for diagnosis and planning.
