Abstract
Objectives: We present a brief review of our preoperative preparation and surgical technique used in the correction of congenital pyriform aperture stenosis. We also discuss the postoperative care and potential complications of the procedure. Methods: Surgical correction of a congenital anomaly with the aid of 3-D modelling and microinstruments. Results: The outcome of our patient is reviewed as well as considerations for improvements in the treatment of future patients. Conclusion: Congenital pyriform aperture stenosis is a rare congenital deformity. When the stenosis is severe prompt intervention is required. The use of a CT-generated 3-D model greatly enhanced our surgical planning. The use of microinstruments allowed precise surgical correction complementing the preoperative surgical plan.
