Unilateral Choanal atresia is rare. Bilateral choanal atresia though common, is incompatible with life. 24-year female came with persistent complaints despite undergoing left-sided choanal atresia repair in childhood. Left-sided endoscopic assisted transeptal choanoplasty, posterior septectomy, and extended resection of rostrum of sphenoid done. Extended superior resection of rostrum of sphenoid increased success rate in our patient.

Background: Using the bi-nostril 4-hand technique during the endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) facilitates bimanual microsurgical techniques yet requires resection of the posterior nasal septum. The surgical exposure and degree of maneuverability gained proportionate to the extent of posterior septectomy in the sagittal plane was previously quantified.
Research Question: We aim to describe our technique of posterior septectomy, and the effect of its extent in the axial plane on surgical access, and instrument maneuverability.

Introduction: Hoodplasties and labia minora reductions are some of the most requested operative procedures by women distressed with the appearance of their vulvar region. In the majority of cases, a concomitant hoodplasty (HP) is performed to achieve a better aesthetic appearance. Various surgical methods have been described for the removal of excess tissue within the clitoris hood area.

The surgical management of lesions within or around the brainstem is usually associated with significant morbidity. Even though several safe entry zones have been described for brainstem lesions, especially cavernous malformations (CMs), their resection remains a challenge due to the convergence of highly functional nerve tracts and nuclei in this rather small structure. Moreover, the ventral location of some of these lesions usually calls for complex surgical approaches involving extensive bone drilling and significant manipulation of neurovascular structures.
