Abstract

Objective This study aims to present 18 years' experience with endoscopic treatment of bilateral congenital choanal atresia as regard to management concept, surgical technique, results, pitfalls, and complications. Patients and methods A retrospective study including 112 cases of bilateral congenital choanal atresia, treated at Mansoura University Hospital endoscopically in the period from January 1998 to March 2015. As far as we know, this is the largest study group on transnasal endoscopic choanal atresia repair in literature. Results One hundred and twelve infants (87 females, 25 males) were included in the study. Age at operation ranged between 1 day and 28 days (8.75 days in average), and body weight average was 2.76kg. All patients were diagnosed at birth except 3 infants. In this study, 85 cases were mixed atresia, 25 cases were bony atresia, and only two cases were membranous. In all cases, obliterated choana bone and vomer bone was removed, lateral wall drilling was used in 33 cases. Follow up ranged between 6 months and 18 years (95.6 months in average). The most common complication was restenosis, occurred in 42% (47 cases). Second-look procedure was done in 68 cases. The need for second-look evaluation with stent group was 74.5% (62 out of 83 infants), whereas in non-stent group was 20.6% (6 out of 29 infants). Conclusion Endoscopic repair of bilateral choanal atresia is a safe, effective technique with minimal complication. Usage of 30 degree sinuscope permits be…

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
