New study aims to find best surgery for babies born with blocked nose

NCT ID NCT07173023

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study compares two surgical techniques for infants born with choanal atresia, a condition where the nasal passages are blocked. Thirty infants up to 6 years old will receive either a puncture with mitomycin C or a flap technique. The goal is to see which method keeps the airway open longer and reduces the need for repeat surgery.

Mitomycin C

What this could lead to

If successful, this could identify a better surgical approach to keep nasal passages open longer in infants with choanal atresia.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The surgery carries standard risks of anesthesia and infection.
