Abstract
Objective:To evaluate the clinical effect of endoscopic repair for the treatment of children with bilateral congenital choanal atresia. Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted in our department that six children who were diagnosed as bilateral congenital choanal atresia by nasopharyngeal endoscopy and nasal CT scanning. All cases underwent endoscopic repair and placed the silicone stent to support the enlarged nostrils for six months, and these patients were followed up to observe re-atresia rate after taking out of the supporting tube. Results:Six cases' nasal ventilation were effectively improved after operation without serious complications, 5 cases showed a satisfactory curative effect after taking out of the supporting tube, only 1 case with bony atresia found choanal re-atresia during follow-up. Conclusion:The clinical effect of using endoscopic repair for children with bilateral congenital choanal atresia showed remarkable efficacy with a low re-atresia.
