Method: A review the medical notes of 33patients diagnosed with choanal atresia and subjected to surgical repair.
Results: 8 patients out of 13 developed restenosis after treatment with perforation and dilatation (61.5%), While 4 patients out
of 20 treated with trans-nasal endoscopic drilling without stenting (20 %)
Conclusion: The study showed that the risk of restenosis is significantly less in trans-nasal endoscopic drilling technique and
the result of this procedure is comparable to the published data
