The available literature on the pertinent anatomic and pathologic considerations of posterior choanal atresia is reviewed and the various surgical procedures used to treat the condition are presented. Ten cases of unilateral choanal atresia are discussed and a modified transnasal reconstructive operation using the surgical microscope is described. The advantages of the new technique are discussed.
