Six consecutive neonates with bilateral congenital choanal atresia were included in this study. Emergency and elective management was done in various ways. Postoperative outcome was assessed clinically and endoscopically. Surgical management was done in two approaches. Three done in endoscopic transnasal approach and another 3 in transpalatine approach. Patient with endoscopic approach recovered earlier with minimum morbidity. Application of mitomycin-c minimizes granulation tissue and adhesions.
