The use of CO2 Laser beam combined with a surgical microscope has been, in our two years short experience, the best way for treating choanal atresia. The surgical tool is easy to move in the strenght field of the nasal fossa, there is less postsurgical pain for the young patient, and it is not necessary to leave in place a calibration tube for cicatrisation around. But some rules must absolutely be followed in order to avoid complications linked to the CO2 Laser microsurgery: 1)recurrence of the nasal stenosis, especially in case of a wide bony stenosis,2)burning of alar skin that may lead to disaesthetic scars, and disfonctionnai stenosis.
