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.
