New otolaryngology study results reported from University of Oxford



2009 JUN 12 - (NewsRx.com) -- "Congenital narrowing of the nasal airway at the posterior choanae, which can be uni- or bilateral, is an uncommon condition in pediatric patients," researchers in Oxford, the United Kingdom report.

"The surgical management of choanal atresia varies widely in different centers. This article discusses the different surgical strategies including: dilation and stenting; trans-palatal repair; and transnasal resection utilizing endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) techniques," wrote J.D. Ramsden and colleagues, University of Oxford.

The researchers concluded: "The merits of stents, lasers, CT-guided surgery, and the use of additional agents including mitomycin C are reviewed, as well as the particular problems associated with managing bilateral choanal atresia in neonates."

Ramsden and colleagues published their study in Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America (Choanal Atresia and Choanal Stenosis. Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 2009;42(2):339+).
