Abstract
Surgery could be performed safely in the newborn in the early stage of life, even for unilateral atresia. Tendency for restenosis can be minimized by: 1. the construction of an as large as possible uni-neochoanae by removing the posterior part of the vomer and by drilling away the medial pterygoid; 2. in case of rhinopharyngeal stenosis, part of the endochondral clivus bone should be resected; 3. all raw surfaces should be covered by multiple mucosal flaps secured with fibrin glue; 4. no stenting; 5. appropriate postoperative care.
