Comparing two surgical treatments for choanal atresia in infants
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares two different surgeries to fix a blockage in the back of the nose (choanal atresia). It aims to see which surgery works better for babies and young children who were born with this condition.
