Repair of Choanal Atresia (cont.)

IN THIS ARTICLE

What to Think About

Surgery may be delayed until the child is 2 or 3 years old if only one nasal passage is blocked.

The transnasal method requires less operating time than the transpalatal approach. But the risk of the nasal passages closing again may be higher with the transnasal approach.
